Happy New Year

Well it's 2007 and not much is different then it was in 2006. It was a hard year adoption related. New rules were introduced about a month ago of which the one that really worrys me is the anti-depressent one. It says that you can't be on anti-depressants and I have been on Paxil since John-Cole was born. I won't lie and say I'm not really scared about the unstableness of China right now. I pray about this so often that if I didn't know my God loves me I would think He's sick of hearing about it. I just want our daughter home.

I will say that yesterday was amazing though. We went to Memphis to look at John's new dog and when we got to the mall and got our of the van the first people we saw was a family with 2 Chinese daughters. Then it seems for the rest of the day there were little Asian girls everywhere we looked. John said there is your sign from God that our girl will be here this year. I hope so. I do have to admit it was amazing to see all those gorgeous girls everywhere you look.

Reflecting back on everything else for 2006, it was a great year for John-Cole. He's thriving as a teenager and loving school and church. He's really coming into his own and I'm so proud of the young man that he is becoming. He still has that wonderful sense of humor but he also has a good heart, just like his daddy. He loves the Florida Gators and wears Florida clothes all the time. He went to the Sub-Deb Debutante dance with Terri Beth at the Country Club a few weeks back. He was so handsome!

Oh I mentioned that we had gone to Memphis yesterday. John has wanted a Miniature Pinscher forever and I found one in Horn Lake. So off we went and I don't think I've ever seen John so excited. He feel head over heels in love with that puppy. We don't have a name for her yet but here is a picture. She is the black and brown baby girl in the middle,

Well I guess I'll end for now. I'll update soon.
