Project #2

It's getting close to the end of the year....December - YAH~!  It's been a long year and a long 4 year wait for Aiden,  remember this little guy?

He's going on 11 months and changing so fast.  Each time I get a Well Baby Check he's doing great, and each time I get new pictures, it's like a world of difference! I forget how much babies change in the first year! I can. not. wait. to. get. him. home!!!!   Hopefully he'll be submitted in early January for his Emigration Permit.....like I said hopefully!  There's no sequence when it comes to this process - which is very frustrating.  There's no picking up the phone and calling direct to see when every little thing is done over there in Seoul.  I  just have to sit back and then freak out!!  

When I finished up work in mid November, I knew it was going to be a long couple of months to get to January 2011.   I'd read where adoptive mom's from the Korean Forum said to stay busy for the last few months, it helps.  Okay... I can try and find something to do.... but what?   Thank goodness I took that to heart and came up with a couple of ideas to keep me busy.  I had to or else I'd go nuts.....I'm already half way there, ya know?   (enter hysterical annoying laugh hehehehehe) Umm anyway,  I like crafts, so I looked into that.  I settled on 2 projects.  The first one is sitting there waiting to be put together.......I'm a little apprehensive about it, so I stuck to finishing project #2 first.   Wanna see?  

It's a Korean flag ornament.  I made it out of clay that bakes in the oven, painted it, then sprayed it with clear acrylic sealer.  I put the date on the back to remember when our journey to little Aiden  started!

Taylor wanted one to go on her little tree. 

I've made a few extras, so they're on my big tree.  Now every time I look at my Korean flag ornament, I'll remember Aiden, my little Korean baby till he comes home! :) So every year I put it on my tree, I'll remember what I did to pass the time waiting on him to come home to us!  Aiden, we're coming ... as soon as you're ready! :)
