DTC Group Dec 2005

Secret Pal Gift Exchange / Cyber Shower!!
I am a member of a Yahoo group called DTC 2005. Ours was December 18- our official countdown begins!! It is an online group for families whose Dossier to China was December 2005. There are people from all over the world including 8 families from Colorado. Mark and I actually got together with three couples for dinner in March at a couple's house in Erie. Two of the couples will be adopting their second daughters from China. It was great meeting the families and the little girls from China! We plan on getting together in May or June and go bowling.
The DTC group has done a postcard exchange, quilt exchange, secret pal, and cyber shower. It has been a great way to keep busy as we all wait for our referrals. This month's theme for the secret pal was lady bugs. I received from my secret pal the cutest lasybug teas set. I can't wait for Madison to have her first tea party! She has several ladybug dresses to wear at her tea party! Next month's theme is Mother's day. I better get shopping now so I can get it mailed on time!
I received from my cyber pal the book "I Love You Like Crazy Cakes" along with a Sweet Dreams lullabies cd. I can't wait to hold Madison in my arms and read her her book and listen to lullabies as we drift off to sleep.....
Here are a few of the outfits I have found for Madison. They are with ladybugs, of couse, because ladybugs are a sign of good luck for adopting parents. Her closet is getting full and I haven't even started on her nursery!!
