Just missed our date...

It appears that the cut-off date for this month's referrals from Chin*a is March 6th. Although disappointed that our Clare's referral was not in this batch, we are so excited to finally know that we are next! That we will finally see her face in the next batch of referrals that come. Wow...the 3-year wait is coming to an end and we will hold her soon! Stay tuned for further updates!!
Love and blessings this fine day to you all!

1*26*2009 Chinese New Year...the Year of the Ox

And so another year begins...the year of the OX...or is it the hug (O) and the kiss (X)...only kidding! Anyway we celebrated grandly thanks to a party hosted by my friend, Teresa. The CNY lesson book and crafts by Sonja were wonderful...and Elizabeth is still enjoying them! Here are a few pictures from the day...
