Pink, Pink, and More Pink

We just wanted to show you a few pictures of Mason-Kate's room. After several weeks of hard work (and a lot of pink paint), we finally finished the project. Special thanks goes out to Richard Worth who added the finishing touches! It has definitely been an adjustment for the boys with all of the "girly" decor. They're definitely not used to it!

The Stork Has Arrived!!!!

Well, not exactly the stork that you had in mind, but on January 22nd (Ryan's birthday), the Fed Ex man delivered our letter of confirmation from China. This letter states that China officially recognizes us as the parents-to-be of Mason-Kate! Now all we have to do is wait on the travel authorization and we can set our travel plans.



Here's our "stork"!

Here she is!

We are all proud to announce the referral of our daughter and sister, Mason-Kate. Yesterday we received a call from our agency stating that we had received our Letter of Confirmation. This is a document from China stating that the Chinese government recognizes us as Xue Mei's family.

The family celebrated by going out for Italian at The Garlic Clove (thanks for the wonderful dessert Jeff!) and then we all went to Build-A-Bear. The boys proceeded to build two football player bears and have been playing their version of the Super Bowl all night.....go PATS! Then we all picked out a bear for Mason-Kate, had it lightly fluffed and stuffed with four hearts, one for each member of her forever family! We are thrilled! We hope to travel sometime in March.

Chinese Name: Xue Mei

Date of Birth: January 15, 2007

Referral Date: December 7, 2007

She is described as an extrovert, active and can be a little impatient at times.....sounds like she will fit in just fine!

Thank you all for your support and prayers! This is such an exciting time for us all!
