October adoption update

China matched referrals for dates July 29-Aug. 2, 2006.  I'll take 5 days....even if two of those were weekends and no one was really matched on July 29th or 30th.  I'm so happy that they are FINALLY in August.  I think we are going to begin a countdown system at our house.  We are going to put 48 marbles in a jar and each month remove the corresponding number of marbles as days matched.  This will be a good visual for our girls to see how close we are getting.  One of these days all those marbles will be gone and we'll finally see our little girl's precious face staring back at us.  Joy, joy!!  Just 48 more days to get through, wow!

September Update!

I am giddy with excitement this month....China matched 14 days!  14 days!!!!  Last month they only matched 2 so this is HUGE!  China has matched log in days through July 28, 2006.  We are Sept. 19, 2006 so that only leaves 52 days for them to get through before it's OUR TURN!!  I am still being optimistic by saying that I think we will receive our referral in the spring of 2012 and hope to travel and be home before summer.  It's wild to think that this time next year we'll be a family of 5!
