New pictures!!

I was looking back through emails and found one where a lady named Paula had gotten back on February 8 from picking up her little girl from St. Lucy's. So I emailed her about her experience and asking if maybe she saw Chloe. She replied and not only had she seen Chloe, she had many pictures of our little girl. I received those pictures today, so I thought I'd share one with you all. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Make sure you read a few down below this post as an old post that got lost has resurfaced and made an apperance. Don't you just love cyberspace!!

Ok, ok, I know it has been awhile. I tried to post recently and it would not let me. Jonathan also tried to post and could not, so here we are. . .

The boys and I enjoyed our "extra" winter break last week. We were out of school Wednesday through Friday due to a snow and ice storm. Of course for those of you who know me, this did not prevent us from getting out:) The time off was nice to continue to work on Chloe's room. We have done lots of organizing and cleaning out to not only get her room ready, but also to get our house together. It is much better!!

We talked to Laura last week. She recently was in Taiwan and had some Chloe info. She is very feisty(we believe that will be a good thing), eats every one's food(Keegan better watch out), is beginning to have stranger attachment and is overall a happy little girl. Laura said she has gotten taller and thinned out some. We are hoping to have her home by June. Laura also said we would get about 4 weeks of travel notice. So, we are just waiting around to bring home our little girl. We are spending time getting travel stuff together so we will be ready when we get the call.

The boys continue to enjoy basketball. My dad was here last week and really enjoyed seeing the boys play. They got to hang out with Papa and Jonathan on Monday while I was at work. They had lots of fun!!

Well, we are off for now! Keep checking back for updates. Hopefully soon you'll see an entry that says "WE GOT THE CALL"

Here is a new Chloe picture for you to enjoy!!

An old post returns. . .

Well, there has not been much happening lately. It is currently snowing and we are all hoping for a snow day!!!! I guess we will have to wait and see what happens tomorrow morning for that. (Side note since we have this post back now--we missed 3 days of school due to layers of ice, so the boys and I were very happy:))

I have been checking everyday for new pictures of Chloe and tonight I finally have some!!! Laura just recently returned from Taiwan. She was there to help St. Lucy's, where Chloe currently resides, move into the new orphanage. I am hoping to hear from Laura this week on more information about where we are in the process and if she has any idea of when we might get to travel to bring our little one home.
Can you say sleeping beauty???

To help pass the time, we are preparing her room. We bought her bedding last week. It is pink(did you think it would be anything different?) with some green and yellow flowers. We are going to paint 3 walls the pink and 1 the green. As some of you know, this will not be a fun task considering her room is currently ECU purple. So, we have a huge chore. Our wonderful friend Jennifer has volunteered to help us paint. We are hoping Jonathan will Kilz the walls for us first. Imagine, after 3 boys, we finally get some pink!!! I'll post some pictures of our progress.

Don't forget you can add comments!! It lets us know our friends and family are keeping up with us.
