We have LID!








"Great is our Lord and of great power". Psalm 147:5

The Bible verse above has been Shane's Bible verse for Sunday School the past several weeks. We have all memorized it. When I look at the beautiful trees with all the colors, the crisp blue sky and the gorgeous mountains, I wonder how anyone could think that there was not a God that created our magnificent earth.

I received an e-mail from Ky from our adoption agency today that we have a log in date for our dossier! It is October 21, 2008. We are excited as now the clock is ticking for the CCAA to review our file and give us a letter of acceptance (LOA) and travel approval follows after that. Realistically it will be months before we actually travel but you just never know about these things so I am still hoping and praying to have Abigail home by Christmas. I know people think I am crazy for even hoping but there were also people that thought I was crazy for ever thinking that we would find her file and actually be allowed to adopt her.

We celebrate our second anniversary tomorrow since we first met Shane for the first time in the Beijing airport. What a fast two years! We will celebrate at Virginia Beach but unfortunately John's parents came not join us as Lorene has been sick. I am including some of my favorite pictures that were taken in China by the New Day staff of Shane for this post. Wasn't he a cutie pie????? He still is of course!
