Okay so it has been a couple weeks since I posted, I will try to do better. Last weekend we had a really good time. We decided to have a picnic and play soccer(Maria's sport) and football(Joseph's sport)it was great fun! Alicia brought Annie (thats her poodle)and really enjoyed walking around with her. I am going to try and post pictures. As far as the adoption goes we are on day 42 waiting for our LOA. Pray it will come soon!!!! This past Friday Steve and I spent 3 or 4 hours filling out additional paperwork that some genius thought up for us to do. At least we did it and it will be in the mail tomorrow. There has been additional steps that have to take place (PAPERWORK) pray that this goes smoothly. Today we went to Atlanta for a check-up the doctor said that Maria looks great. That is such a blessing!!!!!!!!!!! We stopped near Atlanta @ a outlet mall and found Kimmie the cutest P.J. They have written on them I Love Mommy on one shirt and I Love Daddy on the other, the pants are rainbow. Maria really wants some matching jammies or outfits for her and Kimmie. I think that is so sweet.

Today is day #30!!! What that means is, we have been logged in China (our paper work is being processed)for 30 days. The estimated time is 90 days so 60 to go before we get dates for travel to get our beautiful little Kimmie . Maria is feeling much better thank you for praying. She had her infusion today, it went well she is amazingly tough. Thank the Lord for His strength and amazing love!

Well it has been a while since posting. Let me give everyone a quick update.
We now have our Log in date,meaning our paperwork is now in China being processed, it is Jan. 4,2009. We are close to the 30 day mark now.The last update of Kimmie was in October on her third birthday! I have posted the picture we received,she is such a beautiful little girl! I can't wait to hold her in my arms! Maria is now having a little bit of a flare with her dermatomyositis. Please pray for her, she goes to Atlanta Feb.16. Alicia is doing well soon she will be going on a trip with the Model United Nations group from her school. It is amazing how smart she is, kinda scary. Joseph is doing good and REALLY looking forward to the fall when he gets to play FOOTBALL! He has so much energy I am also looking forward to football!! HA!HA!!
