Adoption Update

Update to this post. Referrals have been mailed and should be arriving tomorrow or Friday and the cutoff is November 14 not November 17. At least they matched 1 more day this month than last month. That's better than matching less days....just looking on the bright side! What this means for us is that at the present rate it should be early December. Although they are only 25 days away from our LID unless they speed up some it should take about 4 to 5 more months.


Referrals should be coming out again soon...We are getting closer. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us over the past 2 + years. Rumor has it that they will match through November 17, 2005 this month and our date is December 9, 2005, so if they make it that far we will be only 22 matching dates away. My cousin Ben and his family have a November 24, 2005 LID so they are REALLY getting close.

Here is a link to their blog. http://www.meetingmei.blogspot.com/

I am a little behind on the posts. Tonight is the first night our internet has been working since last Monday when the storms came through.

Last weekend we had a wonderful time at a restored lodge close to where Ronnie's Mom grew up. Her side of the family all met there and we grilled hamburgers and shared homemade ice cream and a lot of other goodies. The kids had a wonderful time. When we first arrived it was raining but that did not stop the kids that brought their bikes. They went bike riding in the rain. I am going to post the pictures I have but Carmen has many more that I will add so please come back again to this post and enjoy the FUN!!
