Its been a while

Well its been a while because there really isn't anything new to report from China. The rumors go up and down and can get to you sometimes. I read one last week that said CCAA said there is no way it will go past 12 months LID which would have us traveling probably February at the latest. I still hope we have our baby girl by Christmas.

Ariel's quilt top is finished. I'll add pictures of it. Its really gorgeous! I need to get it quilted and have to decide on a person to quilt it. Isn't it pretty!! I love the hearts, plus it has the little Asian girls as the boarder. Its queen size.

We got back from Disney. Had a wonderful time. Came home and found out they are offering Free Dining again in September so we will be going back. Hopefully staying at Coronado Springs! We will be there for John-Cole's 15th birthday. Seems appropriate since we always seem to go for his birthday. I'll add some pictures from Disney.

We also had the Beauty Revies. Jamie Luke won Jr. High with Sara McDaniel, Taylor Dobbins, Emily Newton and Morgan McGaugh being beauties. For high school Mary Lemonis won and the beauties were Jessica Stokes, Jennifer Seymour, Nicole McAdory and Kaylee Wilson. John-Cole was an escort. Here are a few pictures.


I've seen quite a few ladybugs lately. We actually rescued one last night from the ceiling of the bathroom. I also dreamed about a little Chinese Girl with pig tails jumping up and down on our bed. I hope she was our girl. John was cutting on some of the trees this weekend and talking about building Ariel a tree house with a slide and swing in the big climbing tree. We are so ready for our baby girl!

Oh heres something funny, I'm going to get my ears stapled tonight. Its supposed to help with weight loss and your hunger. Its supposed to work by pressure points. I hope so. I hope it doesn't hurt....LOL! So we will see. I've been on and off the diet since getting back from Disney but I am going to re-join Weight Watchers next Tuesday. So if the ear thingy works at all hopefully along with Weight Watchers it will be good!

A message to my baby girl. We can't wait to get you here. We pray for your comfort every night. We pray that God looks down on you and that he loves and comforts you until we can get there. I love you Ariel. Mommy and daddy can't wait to come and get you! Hopefully it will be soon!
