Oh the waiting for the phone to ring......

Ring Ring Ring 10:40 am on November the 25th!!!!

Good News, not such good news......

The Good news is we got our I171H in the mail last week, we had been waiting 3 months! This is a piece of paper saying from our government to the Chinese government we pass for adopting a child. This is the second time we have had to go through this in this journey. This is really taking a long time.........
I think the closer we get to match the harder the wait because I wait for the %?%? phone to ring everyday, its like living in limbo. I really try hard not to go there but sometimes it just happens. I'm so happy Regina is off this week so she will keep me busy and my mind off of this.
I just got an email from the adoption agency and she said they are up to Oct. 07 and we are Nov 07 so yes we are getting closer but I had hoped it would be sooner than later........I know I know it will happen when its suppose to..................................
Nick and I both felt we would know by Thanksgiving, oh well.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR!!

Still no news........

waiting....waiting.......having adoption labor pains here...........ring phone ring!

SOON

It will be one year since we submitted our check list to CCAI waiting child program.
Some are waiting longer then they said..........10 to 12 months wait, well we are at the 12 month mark this Sunday! I emailed the department today because I just can't stand it any more! They replied we are at the top to be matched soon and they hope to call us soon! My stomach did a flip flop!! Stay tuned for the big announcement!

More on the weekend

Weekend Getaway

After Halloween we went to Colorado Springs and stayed in Manitou Springs. It's really a cute town with alot of history. We went to the North Pole and Regina would not even look at Santa, they would not let us take a picture in his house so no picture of Regina and Santa :(

The lost tooth!

Regina lost her first front tooth!

Halloween

It was a very warm Halloween this year! We are never prepared for the cold except this year!! All three of us were dressed very warm too warm! Regina had a school party and parade and she was sooooo hot! Oh well next year we will have a both warm and cold! I can't believe I don't have a picture of me or Nick...........just keep on guessing until our friends email us a picture and I will post it!
