Fun pics
It has been a "sick" couple of weeks here, except for Abby! She is such a trooper dealing with a sick Daddy and Mommy. She has taken good care of us, since these colds are kicking our butts!

Good news for the Holiday!
Surprised when I checked my e-mail today to get an update from Holt! We were not expecting to hear anything more until mid-December.....
Anyways, 4 more families have been referred!!!! 4 more babies !!! 4 more families! I can imagine their happiness today! I am tearing up as I write, just thinking about how much closer we are, but yet it is all still so far away.........but I am Thankful!!!!! :)
So, here we are, still waiting but with more hope that we will receive our referral next year, maybe spring, maybe early summer. Ahhhhhhh, it feels so good!
We hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving!
Mom!
Shaun- we love you already!

Kindergarden...............
Today, she got home a bit earlier, but not on time. I guess we will have to let the buses get it all squared a way in the first couple of weeks. This morning we went out ten minutes before we were told and still missed it! Luckily he passes our house 2 or 3 times so he did pick her up at about 10 after.
This pic is of her getting off today, she had another great day at school!
They do not keep score at this age, but Kev said they won like 7 to zip!
Enjoy!

ps. we have been waiting another month! 4 months down!

5 and full of energy!
Abby and friends..Lucy, Abigail, Izzy, Caitlin, Abby Liz,Cait, Christa, Caroline, Alicia and Zan
Tomorrow is the official day, the day she was born in China on a cool summer morning. I will tell her the birds were just starting their songs, the sun was just peaking from the horizon. It was a special day, September 2, 2003. The day she was born to be our daughter from another land. We will also think of her bith parents and how they made a choice. A choice that may have brought them great sorrow, but at the same time brought us hope and joy. We thank them for giving Abby life. With out them, Abby would not be, and we would not be the wonderful family we are.
Abby Liz, ..............wo ah ni

Longs Retreat!
We enjoyed the weekend at Long's Retreat in Latham, Ohio. It was a quick 2 hour drive from home. We found this place on the Internet and had no idea if it was going to be like. (Internet pics can be very deceiving!)
