Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but life is moving at warp speed lately ! Rachel is now potty trained and she has moved into Audreys room in her own big girl bed. The transition has been a little rough but overall much easier than we anticipated. Rachel is still not making it through the night dry but we are determined to have her potty trained at night as well so guess I'll just be doing a little extra laundry for awhile ;-) Rachel's crib is still sitting in Paul's room but I'm hoping to sell it soon and begin preparing his room for him. Since Paul seems to really like horses his room will have them as it's central theme. I recently received a few pictures of Paul receiving his care package. I am so amazed at how big our son is getting ! He looks a little sad in the pics but I'm hoping hes just irritated because he had to get dressed up and get a new haircut for the pics ;-)
This past weekend Wendy and Dan Bowyer came to visit and stayed with us. Both their daughters are from Audrey and Rachel's orphanages and we traveled together for both adoptions.
We are still waiting for our LOA or LSC (letter seeking confirmation) for Paul which is the main piece of paper we need before we can get ready to travel. The way things are moving now, we probably won't receive it until late May. I'll post as soon as we hear something.

What pics you have of Paul! Awesome!
Sorry we weren't able to get together during your visit. I tried to call but I must have called your home phone and couldn't find your cell #.....
Hugs,

Oh wow! Great pictures and information. I will have to remember those questions. I just sent a care package to Autumn. In fact it should be in Beijing today, where OCDF is going to send it to the SWI.
Don't be scared of the sad face. He's a big boy and it is all kinda confusing to them. I don't how old the girls were when you adopted them (since I haven't read everything yet. :-). But Anna Lin would have been delighted if our guide would have taken her home, rather than us. :-D However, we began the bonding before we left for home. She's been with us almost 2 years now. She recently cried because we had finished Spring break and all of us had to go back to school. That's a far cry from fussing about us having big noses and making her wear funny clothes.

Hi michelle,
those pictures are priceless! Thank you so much for sharing them! The poor little guy has got to be more than a little confused and baffled by the gifts and attention. he caregivers have the sweetiest look on their faces - excitement for him. And how thoughtful to take the pictures for you.
We'll be praying for you guys!
Wendy
