Waterboy's sister, a.k.a. future Turkey Bowl cheerleader...:)

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! This season, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, is my favorite time of year.

As a side note, I have my last class of this semester tomorrow and then Dan and I are heading up north to be camp advisors for "Camp Anytown". 70 high schoolers are coming and the mission behind the camp is to help break down prejudism and gender issues in the school. It's my first time and Dan's 3rd. He says it's awesome. I will update you when I get back. Have a great week!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Tomorrow my family is celebrating Thanksgiving since I will be working Thanksgiving Day. I love Thanksgiving! We will start our day by meeting at a field for our annual "Turkey Bowl". All the guys play football and sometimes we girls play or we sit and catch up on each others lives. We then go home, gather our pies, etc. and meet at mom's for Thanksgiving dinner.

I have so much to be thankful for! My life is full of blessings and you who read this blog are truly one of them. I am so thankful for you, my friends.

I pray your Thanksgiving is full of fun and laughter shared with those you hold most dear...

Making Headway!

Our Agency just sent the following update:
On November 5, 2007, Children's Hope received 10 China referrals. These referrals were for our nine 12/5/05 log in date families and one 9/26/06 Chinese expedited family. They are 10 beautiful little girls! They are from the Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Liaoning provinces. They range in age from 6.5 to 13 months, and one 3 year 7 month old (Her parentswere presented her referral in our St. Louis office and they said, "They are thrilled and she is so beautiful!") These families waited 23 long months from log in date to referral. The Chinese expedited families waited 14 months from log in date to referral. We expect these familiesto travel in about 8 weeks.

Well, they are slowly making their way to our dossier! :) It is also our 20 month LID anniversary today!
