Saturday night we had a fun date night. We drove to NJ for dinner and a movie. We wanted to eat at Joe's Crab Shack...but the wait was over an hour and a half. So we went to a diner and got breakfast for dinner, YUM! Then we saw "The Hangover". FUNNY AS HECK! We figure that sleeping late, and date nights with no babysitter really are a luxary we won't have for much longer, so we better enjoy it while we can!
We also got the rest of the toys all cleaned and organized. The room is officially ready for a kid to play in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh...and PS...the rocking horse was a yard sale STEAL! $10!!! Actually, Pauly and I were saying as we were sitting in there last night, that MAYBE we have spent about $100 on everything in the room (minus the rug and furniture). Yard sales are a BEAUTIFUL thing!
We also got all the toiletries, gifts and electronic equipment ready to be packed. Right now Hsin-Hua's crib is serving as the staging area for all things going on the trip with us! We are actually prepared enough right now that we could leave within 24 hours and be VERY well packed! 
We got so much done this weekend....Mr. Peepers was exhausted on our behalf! He is SUCH a supportive cat!
It feels SO good to have something to do again to pass the time.Hopefully we don't have much longer to go!!!

Wow... tired yet?
The playroom looks great. Just add baby and you're good to go.
And Mr. Peepers... awwww... give that cat a good belly scratch for me.
Hayden has that table with the english and spanish numbers/letters/colors thing. Well when she first arrived home she was terrified of the thing, if she accidently touched it and it started singing she would cry....fast forward....just tonight she was banging the hell out of it and dancing some crazy jig while it played:)all the while laughing.
Two things....you will be so glad you have all of your stuff ready to throw in a bag and go. We found out on Thursday that we were leaving Tuesday morning....good planning. It will be awhile before Miss Hsin is going to allow you to leave and go make dinner. So just let Pauly know that the delivery man will be stopping by a lot when you first get home:)
I am hopeful your final comes soon and I hear you are leaving on a jet plane!! Can't wait to see the first picture of you holding that beautiful girl of yours!!! Plus we can't wait to come visit~after all that damn rain stops though.
Glad you got so much accomplished and we are dying to see The Hangover.
Ahh good to see the old Heather back. I so hope you hear soon.

Oh yay! I'm so excited and happy to read your blog and listen to the happiness in your words again. This process is TOUGH, no question about it. I'm so glad you're on the home stretch and can't wait to see little Hsin-Hua in your arms.
VERY cute room, and it warms my heart to see all the Ziploc bags again...boxes of Ziploc bags just say "new baby" to me after our trip to China. ;)
So cool to see such happy energy (I could use some :-). Love those bookshelves in her playroom- where did you get them?
What a fun, sweet and inviting room you have created!! There will be soooooo many special family moments in this whimsical space! LOVE the rocking horse....what a steal!
Most of all, I just love hearing the joy back in your "post voice" and can't wait to read more joyful news!!
:)
You sure WERE busy! Wow!
We saw the Hangover this weekend too. Funniest movie ever!
Glad you are having fun and staying busy. Hope a magical email comes this week from Tien.
Casey :-)
