Paperchasing for Ella
Sealed with a kiss
Claire mailing our paperwork for Ella
Well the paperwork is finally done and we have now begun the waiting game. Our paperwork (dossier) has been sent to China and as it looks right now, we should be matched with a baby and receive a referral (picture) around March or April. Of course, we know from past experience that this could change at anytime, but we have also learned that His timing is perfect. We have chosen the name Ella.
Claire cannot wait to be a big sister! We've been talking a lot with Claire about how she and Ella were both born in China and how Mommy and Daddy went to China to adopt Claire just like we will go to get Ella. The other day after explaining all this, Ed asked Claire "Now where were you born?" Claire looked up at him and pointed to his chest and said "In your heart." I guess she has it all figured out!!
Summer Highlights

Some people just have to try it.
Grand Canyon also referred to by Claire as "The B--i--g H--o---le"
Las Vegas, Nevada
Yes, this was about as exciting as it got.
It's okay Claire, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!
