ReplyDeleteHave you mailed out the shirts ordered. Thought I had ordered one, and have not received it yet. Glad to see things are moving along and hope they continue to. She is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you probably explained when I was in China, but you changed her name. Abby just didn't feel right ? I kind of wished I had changed Avery's name, but I felt kind of stuck once I announced it to everyone. I am kind of hoping hubby will change is mind about going back for just one more , but at the moment he is pretty adamant that we are done. Boo! Being over there confirmed to me I could adopt them all if I could .
ReplyDeleteYEAH!! Just 1 Step CLOSER...feels good to get that ALL done!
ReplyDeleteGod speed! : - )
ReplyDeleteOne step closer! So happy for you!
