New Things For Jillian

I have pretty much stopped purchasing clothes for Jillian. With absolutely no idea how much longer the wait may be, it just doesn't seem like a good idea to keep buying clothes. If I had a better idea of the time of year she'd be coming home, I'd keep stocking up! However, I was at Target yesterday and these little slipper/boots were inexpensive and way too cute to pass up!


Baby dolls seem to be a safe purchase, so I keep adding to the collection. This baby is La Newborn, by Berenguer. I found her at Mandy's Moon. That brings the doll count to five.


I just started reading Zoey's Adoption Journey. Stephanie is a photographer and an artist. You can see her collection here. I love her work! I've already purchased some Mary Engelbreit prints for Jillian's room, but several of Stephanie's pieces are really tugging at my heart. Maybe if I purchase the right kind of frames, I can rotate out a couple sets of prints...

Other than that, I'm just trying to write the research component of my thesis. I'm finding this to be the most challenging writing I've done so far. It's difficult to take 18 sources and synthesize that information into a report. This class will be over two weeks from Tuesday, and I will get a breather in August. I think I can hang on for just that much longer!
