We have been working like "mad dogs" trying to get our home ready for Emma Rae. Safety gates went up, bathroom is ready, clothes and toys all washed, pack-n-play put up, Playzone is ready, Diaper station is ready and waiting for a baby!! Dawson detailed the car and installed the car seat today. He is a proud BaBa (Daddy in Chinese)!! Here is also a picture of some of my students. They are so excited about Emma Rae joining the Crowley Clan. They have written letters and drawn pictures for her. The two girls in the picture(Leidy and Hildida) have been in my class since I started the adoption process!!! Another picture is of a poem to Emma Rae from her cousin Cole!! It is a haiku and it says " The morning sun shines; As the great white ground glistens; The Pink blossoms bloom. Emma Rae Author:Cole Waldren Pictured Above!!! It is proudly displayed in Wu's room. I can't wait until she sees it!! It is absolutely beautiful!!! Cole....the little artist! Thank you! You touched my heart...
