Referral on Monday!!!

I just found out that we will be matched with our daughter this Monday evening! Then we will have 72 hours to take her information to our doctor and then to email our all important "Letter of Intent" to our agency to so they can send it immediately to China.

Oh my goodness! I can't believe this is really happening! I don't know how I am going to be able to get any sleep until then! Next time I post I'll be posting on here, I'll be posting her picture!!!

Until Next Time! :-)

Halloween and Gotcha Day 2010

We had a wonderful Halloween. Gavin and his buddy Gabriel went trick-or-treating. It wasn't too chilly outside so that was really nice. The kids got tons of candy and had so much fun!

Then we all came back to our house and the boys played trains. Then I opened my birthday gifts, and we played wii. It was a great birthday!

Then the next day (Gotcha Day) we celebrated by putting up our Christmas tree (I know...it's a little bit early...but we like it that way). We had a great evening. I can't believe that Gavin has been home for 3 years already! Time sure flies! It was so fun to see Gavin putting ornaments (or as he was calling them "instruments") on the tree. (I especially love that Gavin is wearing his halloween shirt while putting ornaments on the tree)

On the adoption front:

2 weeks or so we'll have our referral!!

Until next time :-)
