Finger printing!!!! and how our sweet girl got her name!!

We'll moving right along to the next step in our adoption!!! USCIS fingerprinting!! Funny how much faster this part moves with the senator's office involved. We have been working really hard on getting everything completed so when we get this approval all Dossier papers will be ready to move. I think about my sweet girl night and day!! Can't wait to give her all the LOVE she's missed out on all these years. I have also started to babysit to help pay adoption fees also.So needless to say we're staying pretty busy.But I guess busy is good for my mind right now. Can't wait to start on her room!1But have to wait till I get a break in some of these FEES. Just send lot's of prayers up for my family and my sweet daughter Aubrey!! So while were on Aubrey I must tell you why we named her Aubrey!! My DADDY!! I lost my sweet dad about a year and a half ago.My dad was a different kinda guy.When he was younger and in good health he was the sharpest dressed man around.Always perfect,not a hair out of place suit on even to go grocery shopping!And shoes were always so shiny not a smudge in sight. He was also a very good cook but would never tell any of his secrets!! My dad was a kind man and he really loved his family!He had such a hard time expressing himself though.But you just knew!My dad done a little bit of everything,including flying planes! Which I would never go up with him NO WAY to scared!! He would just laugh!! But then when my dad was diagnoised with a brain tumor and had surgery to save his life he was never really the same.But we still loved him.Alot changed for my dad over the years and it was almost like he kinda gave up.He didn't feel proud of himself anymore.I sure wish I'd told him I was still proud of him.To make a very long story short dad didn't think he was special anymore.But he was!! He would be so excited if he knew our sweet girl was named after her late grandfather. Dad was funny the way he talked,never meant anything bad by the way he talked he was just very blunt!! He would say Lisa I can't believe I'm grandpa to Chinese!Now that would offend some people but not me. Not coming from dad.He was so proud he told everyone he knew! He would just go on and on about how smart they were or how he loved their black hair. Or how Noah could walk right under his kitchen table and not even bump his head. My dads name was Aubrey! Funny how this was a popular name for men in the 60's and now a popular name for girls!! So we thought it would be perfect for such a special little lady to be named after her very special grandfather Aubrey Lee Pitcock.I know my dad is looking down with a big smile on that sweet little face of his.Funny thing is when I stare at pictures of Aubrey, I think she kinda looks like my dad when he was a young child.So here's to you DAD!!
