Merry Christmas!

We had a very Merry Christmas with our family this year, but it seemed like a part was missing. Sophie is that missing piece, but our prayer is that she will be with us next Christmas. Although she was not with us, Sophie's Nana, Pawpaw, and Aunt Brenda gave her a Cabbage Patch Doll, and her cousins, Emily and Amy, gave her a couple of great books. Thanks for the gifts! We really appreciate them.

Finally, we are out of review!

Well, after several months of waiting, we have finally made it out of review! That means that our dossier has been reviewed in China and has been approved for us to be moved to matching. That's really good, but as you will notice on the picture, matching(placement of children) for 2005 is still being done, and we are in September 2006. So, quite a while to wait for us in the NSN line, but thank goodness we are at the head of the SN line for the next group. We are praying that this group will come before Christmas, but there's no guarantee. Keep praying for us
