Some Christmas Pictures

Christmas 2009

We had lots of fun this Christmas. We had a preschool play. Christian's first school play. He sang along and did the little movements. He had been singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for about a month around here.
We also had MawMaw, PawPaw, and Katie-Girl come for the holiday. It was fun to hang out with them and spend Christmas with them.

LOA

We got our LOA (Letter of Acceptance) today. I will be getting a document from FedEx tomorrow, that has to be returned to CO by Thursday.

What does all that mean? We are getting closer to you Mia!

I also was sent some travel information. Right now I am trying to digest it, and will dig in tomorrow.

So Tim and I are excited that we are getting closer. It seems very surreal. I am trying to live in the moment and enjoy it. :)

Can you believe he is 11?

I told Tim the other night, can you believe the baby we put in a stocking at Christmas when he was first born is now 11?? My gosh where does the time go.

Why Wouldn't I?

Introducing Miss Mia Rui!

It is with great excitement that we announce to the world, this is our daughter-RuiRui (pronounced RayRay) soon to be named Mia Rui. We officially got the call 11/30/09 and on 12/14/09 got PA (pre-approval) from China. I expect to travel in 3-5 months. We are excited and feel very blessed.

Thanksgiving 2009

So many many things to be thankful for everyday. It is nice to remember our blessings and be grateful for them. Below are some pictures taken from Thanksgiving as we were headed out to g'ma Jo's.
