Our dossier was sent to China on 1/05/07. How much longer until we get confirmation of our LID?

Taking him home to meet the my family
Many thanks for all of your kind words and good wishes. We are all feeling much better today. Tomorrow I am hoping that we will be returning to normal life.
My favorite singer Norah Jones has a new album out! She is incredibly talented. I normally purchase a cd and listen to the songs on it that I like and ignore everything else. I listen to Norah's cd's from start to finish over and over.
Her voice and music are magic with grace.
Eli has some form of the stomach flu. Looks like we will be resting this weekend and trying to recover. I feel so sorry for him. He gets so scared and miserable when it comes over him.
I'm sure that we'll be spending a lot of time cuddling on the couch watching Nemo.
At our house, we now call popcorn poppa pops. Zach started it with Eli and it's stuck. I can't tell you how many bags of popcorn we go through. It is amazing. Everyone loves it!
Here is Eli with Daddy eating poppa pops and watching our new favorite movie--NEMO.
How many times can you watch Nemo and not go insane??---I'll let you know.
This quilt square was sent by our fellow blogger Leda. I know that she is still working to get all 100 squares for her daughter Kaylee's quilt before she leaves for China. You can contact her at 'China to California' on my favorites list.
I also am still happy to swap quilt squares with anyone who is working on their quilts. Just leave your information in the comments attached to this post.
Today we got some special surprises in the mail from Aunt Julie.
Zachary and our neighbor Taylor are definitely enjoying their day off from school. They are playing X-Box.
Eli loves to play under the dining room table. He constantly crawls under there with his toys.
Tyler is relaxing and playing Rune Scape on the computer.
We hope you all are warm, safe and enjoying the snow.
Except of course for my Southern blogfriends who keep telling me how warm they are in their tank tops--thanks ladies!!
It is definitely cold outside, but we're doing great. We never lost power. We are just laying low today. Katelyn is watching the Grease show where they are trying out for the musical (we have it on DVR). Zach is playing X-BOX live. I am blogging and Tim is downloading music onto the kids' IPOD's. Tyler is playing at the neighbors.
I am hearing from other bloggers that it's very cold today in a lot of the country. Stay warm everyone!!
Please click on my link 'China to California' and send your warmest wishes to Leda and her family. They received their Travel Approval today.
She thinks I brought her luck. While writing my address on an envelope that she was sending a square for my 100 Wishes Quilt in, her agency called to tell her that she has TA.
Her post brought tears to my eyes and huge smile to my face.
Congratulations Leda!
I started this blog as a way to communicate with others who were adopting from China. It has become so much more than that. I have met some truly wonderful people. I have laughed and cried and cared for strangers. There are blogs that I check daily to see what new fun news they are posting. I have waited with women for their LID's and Referrals. I have cheered them on during their Paper Chases.
And what is really great is that they are doing the same with me.
I have had a great month. My thanks to everyone who visits my site.
I am accepting the tag to reveal some things in my house that are weird. Now, everything on this list, I just love. I can't tell you why, I just do.
These are called witches balls. Kind of creepy name, but the story is that the glass tendrils inside of the orbs were believed to be able to capture evil and keep it contained in the glass ball. These are said to have been quite popular during the 17 and 1800's.
