Cyber Shower!

Today is Cyber Shower Day! In an effort to have a little fun during this long wait ... a group of us January Jiaozi's have decided to have a Cyber Shower! And since this month is our one year anniversary of being logged in with the CCAA ... what better time!
********
THANK YOU Erica, Brian and Amelia!
The first thing I thought when we opened our gift from you ..... Frogs! I love frogs. You made this sweet frog cubie, didn't you! Thank you so much! I love handmade things like this. They are so special. I was thrilled to see the stacking cups! We didn't have any yet. I have read over and over again that you HAVE to have stacking cups when you go to China. :) Now we have ours! Thank you for the book too ~ we didn't have this one either. I'll bet it will be a favorite of ours as well. We appreciate and love your gifts and know that they will be put to good use!

1 YEAR LIDversary!

Today ~ one year has gone by since we were logged in with the CCAA in China! We are one year closer to bringing our child home!
Positive Thought: This wait will make us better parents! We are learning patience & how to deal with frustrations.

Kisses in the Wind
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams. You are here each day with me, at least that’s how it seems. I know you wonder where we are ... what’s taking us so long. But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong. Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin ... Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind. May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you. I promise you, my darling, I’m doing all that I can do. May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight. And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
