Ladybug sighting !!!

Well, we returned home from our grocery shopping to find a ladybug on the ceiling of our kitchen. I have no idea how long she'd been snooping around our house. She must have stayed there for another hour or so before Ray gently placed her outside so that she could fly safely back to China and tell Gracie that we are eagerly awaiting her arrival. Maybe there's something very special going on in the waiting room this very minute !!!!

Just Practicing............

Okay, so I'm pretty much just practicing here. I figure this long wait time means that I have no excuses for a lame blog. Everyone else seems to be so creative and I've had a hard time just adding a photo. Needless to say, the next few posts will be pretty experimental. I haven't even given anyone our blog address. I want to get this thing put together before we head to China.

We were very dissappointed to see that CCAA is still only processing approxiamately two weeks worth of files every month. If this slow pace keeps up we won't receive our referral until sometime the end of February. I'm still crosssing my fingers that things will speed up so that we will at least have a picture of Gracie with us for Christmas if not Gracie herself.

Bye for now.
