My dear Ella...

I know I usually write only when I get new pictures of Ella or Sophia but I felt compelled to write after walking into Ella's room (which is also Sophie's room) moments ago. As I walked into her room my eye caught the big panda I recently purchased for her. I then imagined Ella walking over to that panda in a couple of months...with her adorable little walk which is more like a waddle (as I have watched many times on a video I have of her). I just imagine her looking at all her new toys, new clothes, new house...new family. No longer will the nannies she's grown to love wake her up in the morning and feed her breakfast, dress her, bathe her...on and on and on. I can only pray that the love she will receive from her mommy, daddy, sister, grandparents, aunts and uncles...can ease the pain of losing the only caregivers she has ever known.

My dear Ella, mommy can not wait to hold you in her arms and love you forever and ever! Goodnight sweet daughter!

Back From Hilton Head Island

We had a great time in Hilton Head this past week. Even though we were just there in April it felt so good to be back ! Sophie had a great time...she LOVED the beach!! Everyday she met a new friend. This was her method of making friends... she would see a baby, say "baby", chase the baby down, then get really close to the babys face until she got his/her attention and then pet his/her head. Yes, her social skills are lacking but it's the cutest darn thing I have ever seen! We can't wait to bring Ella next year! Here are some pics...

Log in date!!

We just found out we were LID July 3!!!!!!

That means we are on day 44!!!! Some people get their LOA as early as 60 days but it seems that the average is 80 days!! We pray that it will come closer to Day 60!!!!

We are coming dear Ella!!!!!

Cute pics of Sophie

Daddy and daughter talk..."yes Daddy I will never date!"

Here are some cute pics of Sophie...

MORE PICS!!

Here are a couple new pics of our dear little Ella!

Whenever I am on the computer Sophie will always come and sit on my lap and say "babies". She loves to see all the Chinese babies on the blogs I check. Everytime I show her Ella's pics I will tell her "sissy". Now whenever she sees a picture of Ella (or a baby that resembles Ella for that matter) she says, "Sissy"!!! It's the cutest thing!
