Grace and Lily Enjoyed Some Playground Time

Grace loves to slide (and yes the shoes were kicked off, until of course Lily put them on, then Grace wanted them on again.)
That is the look when Grace realizes Lily is on the Whale Rocker that she insists is hers (like about everything else...she has a bit of a hard time sharing, unless it is on her terms of course that she can be as sweet as can be)
Lily - score Grace is off the Whale Rocker
Fun time driving
Rocking on the whale rocker.
These two are more like sisters then cousins. They love each other so much and can also have a knock down brawl. Sometimes they warm our hearts with how tender they are to each other and then other times we are laughing as the duke it out until we have to step in and break it up. They are so much fun together and we are so blessed to have journeyed this together! Thank you God!

Another Hurdle Jumped Today for Olivia!!!

Well we have jumped another big hurdle in our journey to Olivia today. We received our approved home study report!!! So we gathered the remainder of our documents and completed our I-800A (which is our immigration paperwork) and wrote another big fat check and mailed it all off to USCIS.

What's next? We WAIT (That is such a horrible word!)! We hope in about a month to hear back from USCIS with our fingerprint appointment which is required before immigration approvals are received. This whole approval process can take a few months. This part really stinks. Until we get our immigration approvals we can't do anything else.

Pray folks that this moves fast! This part can really expedite our trip to China if we get our approval quickly!

We had a Great Time at Daufuskie Island



We had a great time at the beach. I posted like 65 photos on facebook and that was after I went through the many many more I took. So I am trying to cut that list here to even a smaller number since I can only upload 5 at a time. So enjoy some of our favorites and see facebook for more.

This is Christian skim boarding
