We did it! We met our goal! We, being us... and you!
We did it!
We can send the $5,500 agency fee as soon as the transfers clear! So exciting and humbling and overwhelming and confirming and worth it.
Made for a pretty fantastic birthday :)
I woke up to precious videos from my favorite kiddos (along with monetary contributions to their brother's adoption from each of them... bless their amazing hearts!) and a sweet surprise from hubs (even though he had strict instructions to do NOTHING.) I was having a hard time letting go of my broken phone cover because it had four sweet faces on it... he replaced it with a new (harder to break) one showing FIVE sweet faces!! I LOVE IT.
And thank you for all the well-wishes for Anna Gray. Her surgery went well yesterday and she has recovered nicely, for the most part. Definitely doesn't feel great, but I think in a day or so, she will probably be back to her normal bouncing, singing self. And I was NOT kidding when I said she really wanted a waffle.
She ate one and carried one around with here, hugging and kissing it on occasion. Hunger can do that to you.
For the second part of the day, I disappeared into Cupcake Land. It is a happy land.
Last week, it was a stressful land. But I decided- I don't to be stressed! I just don't. It's fun for NO ONE and as it turns out, doesn't make anything run any more smoothly. Stress is not the association I want my kids to make with adoption OR how I want them to remember me when they grow up, in general. So that's that. It was one week and we are done with that mess.

I was going to take a quick pic of my baking assistants yesterday, but they insisted on video.
Water, oil, and... jazz hands. Ha! They are fun people. And not heavily influenced by me at all.
This week's cupcakes are Banana Pudding!
They have a Nilla Wafer crust on bottom, fresh bananas, yellow cake filled with banana cream. Topped with vanilla buttercream icing and rolled in crumbed Nilla Wafers.
They're my favorite and since it was my birthday, I got to pick!
My pre-orders added up to nearly 100 cupcakes. WHAT.
Last week, that would have stressed me the heck out. But we're not doing that anymore. Due largely in part to some cupcake fairies that will be doing a lot of delivering on our behalf. So, so helpful. SO appreciated. It literally changes my whole week. Thank you, cupcake fairies!!
I only had a few extra boxes to sell and they sold out this morning!! So glad this is working out!!
HAVE A SWEET WEEK!!
