that's what daddy's do 

I'm not exactly sure why I find this photo so touching.  I am lucky to have a daddy for my little lovebugs, who not only makes grand gestures, but also simple nudges. 

"mommy & daddy"

Our skype session was fantastic.  We started late due to internet issues on their end.  The boys were so tired but wanted us to wake them when Jyun Kai called.

Within a few minutes he was calling Adam & I, mommy & daddy...my heart melted.  He is so excited to have brothers.  I can tell he wants to get to know them. 

After one lovebug showed him his yo yo and the other lovebug chatted, we had to say good bye.  But seeing him more and more makes me anxious to make him our own.

Our Taiwan brother

Tomorrow we get to skype our little boy in Taiwan.  We skyped him about a month ago too.  It was so exciting for him and us.  After a year of looking at the same pictures over and over.  A year of our sons praying for him, their "Taiwan brother", every night, we actually got to interact with him.  Tomorrow night will be wonderful because we are closer and closer to being with him.  July can not come any sooner...but before that our final court date is April 8, 2011.

ANTICIPATION

China is chugging along

China has completed LID's up to June 15, 2006...this means they are only 20 LID's away from our date.  It could be September we would go get our little girl.  Sooner than that we could have a picture of her by the end of July!!!!!!!  After so long, it is speeding up.  As usual with China's adoption program, there is no reason for the speed up in dates, but I will take it none the less.
I am trying not to hold my breath...but I was looking at adorable summer dresses on-line this morning.  A cute little dress for her won't hurt anything.
