FINAL FOUR!!!!!!!

At last, I am excited about the FINAL FOUR. Yes, I like basketball, but I am one of those people that dread the ever popular March Madness. But this time, I'll get excited over the final four. Only four little more spots before we get to see Ellie-Joy's beautiful face.

Four leaf clover - lucky & beautiful

Four of a kind (unfortunately, not a gambling woman)

Today has brought so much emotion. First the boys have been pills. I think we are all suffering from sinus pressure - not that that's any excuse. Next, we find out that there has been movement. Then today when Andy was headed back to work from lunch he checked the mail. Well, Hannah Grace & Ellie-Joy received a package from some very sweet & THOUGHTFUL friends in PA. It had lots of goodies - some adorable stickers with Hannah Grace's name on it & some glow sticks for her birthday (oh what sweet memories- thanks guys!). It also had the kindest note for me - I'll be calling you soon girl. Yes, Tammy, you made me cry. Then the thing that I got the most excited about - a cd of our "meeting moment" with Hannah Grace (if you don't know the story - WE didn't get our meeting on video. You can go over to our China trip & read all about that fiasco. LOL) Now, the only problem is we are having problems with our disc drive on this laptop, the other computer is on it's way to the shop so I can't see it!!!!!! I am getting ready to go up to work this afternoon, so I know what I'll be doing first. (wink) I am still in awe over how God perfectly ordained our meeting. You all are such a blessing. I miss you.

Then we also got two Christmas cards from two of our traveling buddies. Oh how the girls are growing. I don't think the waterworks are going to stop today. But that's alright. It's been a good day. ;0)

I am so behind this year. I haven't even started on our Christmas cards this year. There's so much to do & so little time to do it in. Maybe everybody will get a Chinese New Year card from us this year.

Now that I've made this post long... here's just a little more. Congrats to the blessed family: (& early happy birthday to me)
