Blogging can wear you out. Life comes at you fast, and before you know it, 3 months pass and you haven't taken a minute to reflect on the wonders you've been blessed with. I know it's late for resolutions, but hey, in Vietnam, New Year's isn't until February, so I'm going with that.
I will blog more!!!

That's a little north of Hanoi. She's amazing. I spend hours just staring at her picture, and examining every little detail of her face, toes and fingers. I think it's hard for people to understand that seeing her for the first time was a lot like seeing your newborn after giving birth. It's that rush of unconditional, unimaginable joy and love that has no comparison. She is yours and you are hers.
To that end, we found out she was chosen for us on October 30, 2007. The joy of that day is indescribable. We were all in tears, just staring at her on our computer screen. True, it's an odd way to meet your child for the first time, but to us it seemed perfectly natural, and there is no question that she is meant for us.
We hope to travel to Hanoi and on to Thai Nguyen sometime this Spring. I wish I knew more than that. There are still paperwork details that both governments are working through. This is not anything out of the ordinary, it's just the process. And from this side of the globe, the process gets more and more ridiculous day by day.
We are working on our third Home Study Update, and third Child Abuse Screening/Clearance, and soon, our third set of fingerprints since submitting our original paperwork in late 2005. I can't believe it has been that long since we began this craziness! Since then, I think I have aged about 15 years!
Connor is getting ready for his fourth season of T-Ball. Wow. Life comes at you fast. If you blink, you might miss it.
