Playing Goldilocks

This bed is too hard, this one is too soft, and this one is just right!

We had fun finding the JUST RIGHT bed for our little one and it should be delivered here this week. It's hard to imagine our little one soon sleeping in it.  We just can not wait for that day!

For anybody local, you'll recognize this:

We always try and support a local company when possible.

Somehow buying one bed turned into buying two new beds.  So for those of you reading who may be coming for a visit, you too have a brand new comfy bed waiting for you.

 Hopefully that will entice you all this way soon! Afterall, we do have a good reason for all of you to visit in the future!

NYC Trip and got to meet Leta!

OK, so this is a big post for us.

 

Big

 

During my layover in Manhattan this week I went to the Gladney office to meet someone that is a BIG part of our process.  Please let me introduce to our family and friends a person that works hard at answering all our questions, listening to us and showing so much empathy for us that it feels like she is now a part of the family.

 

Every page of our application and dossier, each of the hundreds of emails so far, all our questions, telephone calls and her tireless enthusiasm and good news for us...

 

She is just GREAT!

 

This is our confidant and friend, and the Asia Program Caseworker

 

Leta White

 

 

And just because I like to see all good things TEXAS, if you look at the last picture over Leta's left shoulder, that new American little girl is sitting in a field of bluebonnets!!!!

 

 

Oh...

 

One last thing for today...

 

Did I mention that we know our little girl now?

 

And that her paperwork is close to completion...

 

Yeah, HUGE post today!

 

More details soon, I promise!

Mailbox Surprise!

It was a big weekend for the China Makes Three household!

 

When we started this whole process, we waited to tell most of our family so that when we made the big announcement we would have more information other than just saying we started a big long process.  So here we are, almost eight months in and with our LID, we decided it was time.

 

Oh, and we had the perfect venue...

 

A family wedding!

 

Lots of smiles, hugs and loving tears!  Family just feels so good!

 

And so that now our family can follow along, our announcement will be arriving in your mailboxes this week!
