Our dossier has been in D.C. for several weeks now being authenticated and registered at various agencies. I understand that going through these paces up front will diminish the hassle in the completion of the adoption and naturalization at the other end of the adoption process. I don’t know, but I am just ready to get [...] We celebrate Ellie’s adoption and birthday in October and Hannah’s birthday in early November. We just had our second birthday celebration this evening–this time with Grandma and Aunt Jo. We are halfway between Ellie’s birthday last week and Hannah’s birthday this Sunday. We will celebrate Hannah’s day with a “friends” party in the afternoon. It [...] ..times two. My girls are very good at sharing! So far this school year we are on our second round of illness. This time bronchitis times two (maybe three, Mom is in pretty sorry shape, too). Dr. Yingling says it is very popular right now – glad my kids are up on the latest trends. There [...] BUT we made pumpkin cookies instead! They were way more fun to make than they were to eat. Happy Fall!

She was carried into a hot, stuff room in the Civil Affairs Office in Nanning, China after a 2 and a half hour bus ride along with seven “orphanage-mates”. We were told she was healthy, smart, and a pretty strong-minded baby. I had [...] I was just informed by my neighbor that I sent out my daughter’s birthday party invitations WITHOUT the date!!! FLAKY! I hope I can get the invitation thing down before we are looking at graduation or, gee, maybe wedding invitations. Now you might say that is a long way off… But, all I can say is [...] The tooth didn’t make it to the morning. Hannah came into my room at 4:00 and said that the tooth had fallen out and she found it on her pillow. She was relieved. She had been afraid that she might swallow it. She is adorable with no front teeth. Daddy teased her this [...] Well, we were curious as to how long it would take to wiggle out that front tooth. Here’s the story: Hannah had a surgery today to correct the muscular alignment of her left eye (long story) at Children’s Hospital in St. Louis. I could take a minute and rave about how wonderful this hospital is and [...] Our immigration petition is on its way to the US Embassy in Addis Ababa. It will be there waiting for us until we arrive with New Baby to be interviewed in order to finalize his/her US citizenship and immigration to the US. Our dossier is in Washington DC making its rounds to the US Dept. [...] |
