SURPRISE!!!

Today my friends pulled off a fabulous Surprise Baby Shower. We had a great time with good food, fantastic presents, and the Best Friends in the whole world! A BIG THANKS to all of you! (I didn't have my camera so I will post pictures as soon as I get them)

Meigan's Room

We painted Meigan's room last weekend. The pictures don't do it justice as the colors look funny. But, this is the only way most of you will see it so here are the pictures you've been asking for. The walls are a bright lavender, and the crazy design you see is the ceiling. I also included a picture from the pottery barn site showing what the twin bedding looks like. We aren't going to repaint anytime soon so we purchased the twin bedding also.

Formula Scandal Update

Many of you have expressed concern about Meigan in regards to the latest formula scandal in China. We received a report yesterday telling us about the two formulas that she has been given in her life, NEITHER of them is on the recalled list. Because of the widespread concern she also was given a specific medical exam addressing this issue and everything was reported to be normal. Thank you for your prayers, keep them going for all of the babies affected by this.

Let The Countdown Begin!!!

We will meet Meigan on October 13th! 20 days and counting! We received confirmation of our consulate appointment today and are finalizing our travel plans.

Another Care Package

Here is the second Care Package we sent to Meigan. Hopefully it arrives before us!!! We also sent a special blanket that Jodie made and embroidered with her Chinese name and English name. A BIG THANKS to Heather and Val for digitizing the Chinese symbols so that we could sew them!!!!!!

Travel Approval!

We received our travel approval from China today! I have only heard of one other family from our referral date that has received permission to travel. We got ours quick! Now we wait to schedule our US Consulate appointment and then we will have our travel dates.

New Pics!!!!

We sent a care package to the foster family of Meigan and in return they sent us some photos!!!

(by the way, we have decided to name her Meigan, Mei means beautiful in chinese, and Megan means pearl from its english roots, and her city is known for pearl farming around the world)

The last pic is of the care package we sent to Meigan's foster family for the autumn moon festical. The tin has a moon cake in it.
