Sorry it's been so long since I posted. We have been so busy. We just want everything to be perfect when Brody comes home, no date still :-(
So what we've been up to?!?!?!?
Shopping. Brody's closet is almost full. Can you believe that. We went shopping last week, and it was just so much fun. We aren't sure about the shoes yet, we are thinking of playing that safe and buying size 9, 10 & 11 and bring those with us. What is too small will stay behind at the orphanage and what's too big, we'll bring back and just wait. I figure just buy a few pairs enough to get us through the first few weeks!! My brother Anthony and his wife, Carolyn, have been so great as to give us 3T & 4T boy clothes. It will help us get through our journey in Ghana not really knowing what size he'll be. Again what doesn't fit will stay behind.
Furniture!!!! We bought a great bedroom set for him. He's got a fantastic twin bed, with a trundle. The trundle will come in very handy on nights that he just doesn't want to be alone, or when he starts to have sleep overs, and okay let's be honest, the pugs will probably get more use out of it than anyone. We have a nightstand and dresser (packed too) all ready. The furniture was delivered on Thursday, and the room is all ready (PHOTOS). Now we wait.....wait....and wait more.
So our place is slowly transforming into a Kid Friendly HOME!!! The pugs.....well of course Butch was not amused when we pretty much took everything out of "his" room. His sofa went into storage, along with other things we needed to move out and make room. Butch is very upset with us, and has managed to show this by peeing on everything in that room. Thank God the furniture wasn't delivered yet. So we had to totally clean the carpet, thank goodness for Arm & Hammer :-)
I think he's getting better. He doesn't have access to the room at all times, but he's getting better.
More to be posted later this week hopefully with updates on our little guy!!!
Love,
Julz, Scott, Brody, Butch & Bella (wow the family is getting big)

Hi Everyone!
The room looks great! Julz, this is what they call "nesting" All these preparations before your child arrives. I was thinking, the trundle bed may also be good for Auntie Chelle when she comes to visit. Or for the cousins, make sure there's room for sleeping bags!
I would imagine that after a while, Butch, Bella and Brody will be the best of friends!
We're always thinking about you! Enjoy this part, the excitment over getting ready for your son is just the begining. There's so much more happiness up ahead!
All our love,
Auntie Chelle, Anna, Matthew & Baxter
