LOL!!!

Okay, I just noticed the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" post that Mom posted. I never went on to blog yesterday, so I never saw the post until now!!! LOL! Mom just told me that she was waiting all day for me to come on and blog, but I only went on to check my email! When I saw it I didn't know who did it until I saw Mom's face and read the post! LOL! Thanks Mom!

Yesterday was soooooo much fun! JCPenny's finally opened in McHenry and my grandparents(on my Mom's side) bought me this really cute and soft pajama set! It's like a sea foam green and feels like those really soft socks. They also got me a pair of those really soft socks! Jonah got me the second Christy Miller Volume and Christopher got me this really cute 3/4 sleeve top! Mom and Dad got me a soap making kit, which I have used pretty much all of the Glycerin up! My grandparents (on my Mom's side) split my laptop with me when I got it so that was supposed to be my present, but then we went shopping and they bought me a whole bunch of clothes! I also got some money from my aunt and uncle, and a half dollar from my grandparents (on my Mom's side). We had Chinese :D for dinner and Sundays for dessert!

This was my last birthday without Sarah!!

Still no LOA yet :(
Have a great rest of your weekend everybody!

HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY CAITIE!!!!!

We love you very much and thank the Lord everyday for blessing us with you. HIS love and faithfulness abound! You are a treasure on this earth and we are so very proud to call you our daughter.
With all our love, Mom and Dad

We've Got PA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've got PA!!!! I'm so happy!! Only 2 more steps to go!!!! We didn't get the updated picture with it, though. I'm thinking if we don't get it when Bethanne gets back from China we might get it with LOA. But so far it's looking like we're going to be traveling in December!! YAY!!

We're almost there Missy!!!

Aww! Thanks so much Staci!

I now nominate, Lexi, Olivia, and Ally.

No email yet...

...for our PA. BUt we are out of the review room!!!! Now Mom's thinking that instead of getting PA we're just going to jump right ahead and get out LOA. We're hoping that's the case because then TA follows right after and then Sarah Grace comes home!!! I am still so frusterated with Sunnyridge. I can't get over what they're doing. Julie (our SW) said that when they get our PA she'll email it right away. *sighs* If we do get LOA instead of PA we'll be traveling in a month-an-a-half!!! Oh well, the only thing we can do right now is pray that Sarah is safe and healthy. And check Mom's email everyday. :D

Liar, Liar, We Just Want Our Daughter (or in my case sister)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I just want to fly to China, grab Bethanne by the ear and drag her back to the States just so she can gives us everything she's been keeping from us. I'll start from the beginning.

Mom has found the moms of Sarah's adoption "sisters"! Sarah and these two little girls are in the same Institute as she is. Cool, huh? So with one of the families, it turns out their file waited two weeks - as did ours. Bethanne had told this family that they were waiting for someone else to get the paperwork done. They assumed it was us. Remember how in July I posted that Bethanne said we were waiting for another family to finish their paperwork? Well we assumed that it was this family. So it turns out that the family we were thinking we were waiting for another family but it turnes out that their paperwork was already done and at Sunnyridge! So everyones paperwork was held two weeks for no reason!! AAAARRRR!!!!! Bethanne says she cares so much about these children but apparently not enough if she's lying to everyone and holding files longer than they need to be.

Also! Yes there is an also and this also is making me so insane!! SunnyRidge has updated pictures of Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And they won't send them to us until we're PA!! We were supposed
to get these pictures with her Medical Update but they were never sent. Bethanne said she would email the pictures to us with the medical info! Mom has figured out that we should be getting PA on Monday if everything is done right.

Mom has figured out, also that we have 3-4 months until travel. So we'll probably be traveling around the week of Christmas. So far that's the only news thats kept me from screaming.

Have a great weekend, everybody!!
