Clothing

When we decided to start the adoption process from China, we knew that we'd, most likely, be referred a girl. That was fine with us. Kevin wanted a daughter and I know how to deal with girls. My family is all girls. My sister has 4 of 'em. With girls come clothes. Lots of clothes. With my first niece, she stayed at my mom's 4 days a week. So she had 2 wardrobes. My second niece, got some new clothes, too. Then came the twins. Oh, the clothes that came with them! And now Joy has come along. Thank God she's a girl! I'm not sure what a boy would wear........

So, yesterday, I started loading up Joy's closets and drawers for fall/winter. Just for fun, I decided to count her shirts. Which led to counting everything. I'm nuts. I know. So. Here's the tallies. Keep in mind there's a ginormous tote at my mom's yet.
