Family Visit

Eagerly anticipated "girl time"!
"Honey" (Grandma Carol) and Emmaxia
Auntie R.J., Rylee and Delaney with Emmaxia
Playing with Honey...
Emmaxia had so much fun playing "patty cake" and "so big" and loved showing off her impressive gymnastic skills to her guests. (Child proofing is just around the corner!)
Thank you, Honey, Auntie R.J., Rylee and Delaney (and Rascal), for a fantastic visit! We can't wait to see you next week!

She's too Cute to Keep to Ourselves

I think hats on little girls always look great but you have to admit she's working this one.
Here's Emmaxia pushing me along to cut the grass.

Baby Einstein

Greetings, Guests!

We will use this blog to share news as we move one step closer to Baby Rock each day.

For those who need a bit of background...
We decided to adopt a baby from China in September/October of 2005. After completing mountains of paperwork, background checks, fingerprinting, etc. (collectively called the dossier), we were officially on China's waiting list on April 14th, 2006. This moment of acceptance is called the log-in date (LID). This date is quite significant because families are matched with children according to LID. If you follow referral dates (the date a waiting child is matched with a waiting family), you will be able to see how close we are to being matched--at least in theory. When we started the process three and a half years ago, China was matching month for month, meaning one month of LIDs were taking one month to match. Now, unfortunately, one month of LIDs is taking about four months or more. So...we wait...we vent...we cry...we breathe...we hope...we believe.

*To our family and friends-
A huge hug and thank you for sharing our frustration and our joy as we practice patience and faith, knowing Baby Rock is just over the horizon.
