LiLi's Big Day!

Today LiLi had her "big show" at The Little Gym. She did great and seemed to really enjoy herself. At the end of the show, she got a medal that they put around her neck. LiLi thought that was great.

On another note, our paperwork made it to our local CIS office. They are processing the final paperwork for us to bring Bella home. We seem to be on target for bringing her home mid to late March. My friend, Claire, is having a baby shower for me on Sunday. I am super excited.

We are leaving in the morning to go to Charleston. We will be there until Friday and then we are heading out for our cruise! Our last trip before we expand our family. We are all very excited. We actually got an updated picture of her today! She is growing like a weed! :)

I have been tagged!

I was supposed to pick the 4th picture in the 4th file in my pictures section. This is it! It is a picture of LiLi feeding Ava (our granddaughter..who is one month younger than Bella) a bottle! Sweet picture!

Almost forgot, I tagged Dena, Kathy, Rebecca, Jen, and upstate mom (sorry don't remember your name)

The paperwork is on the way!

Just wanted to give everyone an update! Our adoption agency called tonight to let us know that they received the paperwork that we have been waiting for from Ethiopia TODAY!! They are overnighting it to us tomorrow so we should receive on Wednesday. At that time, we will fill out all the paperwork and send to the Charleston CIS office. Hopefully everything will be back to Ethiopia in 4-6 weeks and then the escort will go to Ethiopia to bring her home. This is great news since the paperwork usually takes 4-6 weeks to get here from Ethiopia and today was only week 3! :)

God is Good!

Heading to Washington, DC

We are taking the train to DC tomorrow night until Thursday afternoon. George has a couple of meetings so LiLi and I are going to do some sight seeing. We are staying right near China Town so we will definitely go there.

We are waiting on paperwork from Ethiopia. Once we get that... we have to fill out some forms and just wait. We should be on track for mid March. We are so excited and can't wait to bring home our precious girl! :)
