Hello,

I have created this blog so friends and family can read and see how our family grows and changes. In case you have forgotten what we look like, here is a family photo.

Of course most of you are really looking at this blog to see pictures of Paige. So here are a few of my recent favorites.

Paige continues to grow and to learn to say new words. She has a vocabulary of over 50 words (most only mom and dad know though) and has about 30 baby signs. She is quick to smile and entertains people wherever we go. She continues to be the light and joy of our lives.

We are still in the process of gathering the necessary paperwork to adopt a second daughter from China. Wendy our social worker came to our home on Wednesday and we will have one more meeting before our homestudy is complete. We then will submit paperwork to Citizenship and Immigration (CIS) and hope to have approval by mid September. If all goes well we hope to have our paper work to China by late September. The we wait. The current wait is 14 months from the time the paperwork is submitted to travel to China. We have been told it could get longer. We will just have to wait patiently (those who know I don't wait patiently can stop snickering). Hopefully having Paige as a distraction will help.

Well that is all the excitement here. Feel free to leave comments and suggestion.

Amy
