...and then there were 4!

The day has finally arrived!  We received our long awaited referral today at 12:14pm!  Our little girl, Tai Fu Jing soon to be Chloe Bella was born on October 12, 2006.  I cannot help but wonder what I/we was/were doing on Oct. 12, 2006 when our sweet girl was born.  We are crazy excited about the news and although we still have to wait approx. 3-4 months to go pick her up, just meeting the little girl I have loved for 5 years in my heart even it is only on paper for now has been amazing.  Here are a few details that were in the email we received today.

• She is Active
• Likes to Listen to Music
• Likes to Play with Toys
• Always has a Smile Ready
• Likes to Play with Games
• Is Energetic
• Can be Obstinate at Times (this both makes me laugh and a bit nervous :) )
• Is a Deep Sleeper
• Is Close to the Other Girls in her Orphanage

 Thank you so much to all our friends and family who have been wonderful with all your thoughts and prayers (not to mention helping me stay sane) during this journey.  It means the world to us to have such a great support system.

So Close...

So, we thought we were going to receive our referral today.  Sadly, I must report that it is not going to happen.  That means it will most likely be next Monday.  We are pretty bummed but after waiting for 5 years, another 6 days will be okay.  Additionally on a MUCH happier note, we have a new little bundle of joy in the family to keep our minds occupied.  On July 5th at 5am in the morning we welcomed my brand new nephew Jordon into the world.  He is ADORABLE!!!  Mom and baby are doing wonderful.  Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.  I will let you know as soon as we hear something.
