Well it has been a long time since I posted. A lot has happened in the past few months. We have started the paperwork to adopt Gracie. We are keeping our fingers crossed that her adoption will be finalized before we go to China, so that we can take her with us. As difficult as the trip will be with a three year old, I can't imagine leaving her behind. We are hoping to travel in July or August (our LID is September 3, 2005) so that my sister (a teacher) can come with us and help take care of Gracie.... however with all of the delays, I don't think that will happen.
Concentrating on Gracie and her adoption, and trying to complete my master's degree part-time while working full-time, is definitely keeping me busy.... but waiting for our referral is still hard!
I have enclosed a few pictures of Gracie playing in the snow. She likes to eat snow.... but we have to be careful that she doesn't eat the yellow stuff!!!
