Family happenings and adoption update

Fall is in full swing. To celebrate fall happenings, like school picture days and Halloween I thought I'd share some fun old photos.

So Alan and I were engaged here but not married. We saw Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein masks at Savon's...and couldn't resist. Okay..maybe you had to be there.

I was three here. I think my brother was Casper.

I'm not sure what year this was but I 'm sure I loved the tutu outfit.

Again, not sure how old I am here. But at least this is one of the few school pictures that I actually like and am willing to share with the world.

As far as our adoption, please continue to pray for us. There were a lot of rumors that a speed up in referrals would happen in the fall and so far that is not happening at all. We were waiting until December to see how things were panning out. What we know so far is that we have been waiting for 31 months and the wait continues to grow. We are currently looking into some other options and again would covet your prayers. We both still want to be parents and still want to adopt from China. We want to make good decisions about our adoption, not just desparate ones, if that makes sense. So..no great news but we are trying to move forward a little bit at a time.
