What a gift we recieved!!!

What a huge thank you to Rebecca who is in China right now getting her daughter Maylee. You can follow her journey at
www.livinginarainbowworld.blogspot.comShe was kind enough to get some great pics of Sammy for me, along with some encouraging words. She writes in her email to me:

Amy,

OH MY GOSH!!! Your little boy is absolutely precious!!! He was having such a good time playing outside! Our guide said that he is very smart and was talking a lot to her. He even said "bye bye" to me!I know that I have read a lot of good and bad things about the N*njing SWI and it really bothered me during our wait for Maylee. But, I could tell that Maylee was truly loved the best that they knew how. I feel the same for your little sweetie. Maybe that will help ease some the pain of not being able to hold your baby yet

.


I was so thrilled to hear all of that and with the pictures...I was especially thrilled to get the pictures since they are a bit different then the previous pictures I have recieved!!








What a Smile!!
Isnt he the cutest thing?? I just cant wait to snuggle him! We are so very blessed today. I was really beginning to think that he would never smile for us. I got these at work this morning and was pretty distracted the rest of the day for sure.

What a wonderful early Christmas present to recieve! We are coming up on our 1/2 way mark for the USCIS (immigration) on Friday (appx 90 day wait) and I am starting to get nervous about asking China for an extension to have our dossier to China.

I also recieved another wonderful gift yesterday. My mom has taken it upon herself to spend lots of hours (With Taylor) producing and printing a cookbook of recipes for a fundraiser for us! She donated her time and resources to getting them ready to sell and are giving us all of the money raised!! Thanks Mom! and Thanks Taylor who spent 3 full Sundays typing them all out for the printer! As soon as I can figure out how to use my scanner I will post some pictures of it and if I am really good.. a paypal link so anyone can order them from us! We are just so excited to have all of this support. We are coming Sammy...as soon as we can!!!!!!!!!!!!1
