Still Here!

Hmmm where the heck have I been you ask??? Well we are on week number 2 with the fam visiting. My Mom was here last week and we had a great visit. She spoiled all the kiddos, including Sophie! No sooner did my Mom roll out, my Dad and my sister and her girls rolled in! Kids and all of there stuff is scattered all over our house. Ben is sleeping in our room on an air mattress, I tried having him sleep in the front living room in an effort to perserve some "husband -wife time" ......but that didn't work out. Chris and I may need to meet at a hotel room before the week is over! My sister and our have been busy going to the pool, roller skating, and Tuesday we are heading to Carowinds for some over priced fun! In the middle of all this I am having a "dental issue" that needs to be taken care of once my dentist gets back from the beach. Ugh! My husband is in a major nesting mode, which means lots of projects around the house, its kind of cute. Oh and speaking of Chris I should wish him happy anniversary. We have 2 wedding anniversaries and we always forget the summer one. Chris and I got married the first time by JP. Chris was just starting his business and was diagnosed with an eye disease that required special and expensive contacts. He didn't have any insurance and I did. We got secretly married so he could get his contacts on my health plan. Only our parents and siblings knew about our first wedding, we had our big wedding 4 months later. We never forget that anniversary!


I just took a look at our LOI counter and can't believe that our LOI has been in China for 25 days today. Last week we found out that Sophie has not had her surgery. This is good and bad news. Bad news because this can impact her overall health, but good that we found the BEST doctor for her SN at the Cincinnati Children's hopital.People come from all over the world to go this clinic and see this doctor! Our agency is trying to expedite our travel etc so we can get her home and to a doctor. We are hoping to send antibiotics and vitamins with a family that is traveling soon or through our agency. I am hoping that we hear something this week about our LOA. Chris keeps reminding me that our girl is strong, she has lived in China without her surgery. She is waiting for us to come get her and get her all fixed up! Hang in there baby girl we are coming as fast as China will let us!!

As for you Bodacious Bloggers out there.....I'll see ya Friday!!!
