Lots has happened

Well, obviously learning does take time because it has been eight months since I have updated this blog. So what is new, you ask? We finished paper chasing for our daughter, we became DTC on 12/5/06, and we became LID 12/31/06. Almost two months has passed since we were officially logged in with CCAA. Zachary lovingly named "our baby sister" Lucy Claire. I was skeptical at first. It was a name that was neither on my or Brandt's list, but he was so sure that was her name that we soon became as sure as he was. We have met and become friends with two families in MS who are in the China adoptive families network. One of the families, the Mintons, have already adopted a beautiful daughter from China. The other family is in the process like we are. Both of these families logged in just a few weeks after we did. It is wonderful to have people who are right where you are in parts of their lives. I have also re-begun to work on quilting. I got half of a quilt done for Zachary two summers ago. Now I have joined several swaps to collect and make a 100 Good Wishes Quilt for Lucy. I have received 6 squares so far. I mailed out about 40 today. The squares should come flooding in soon! I am also going to send a letter to friends and family asking for squares. So, lots has happened in the past eight months. Hopefully it won't be eight months before I visit here again!
