Referrals came out!

Cut off date: March 22nd!
Technically this means they processed two days of paperwork!
There were a lot of people in those two days so it was still a good sized batch but it just slowly inches us a long.
Our Log In Date is April 3rd, so there is still about 12 days ahead of us. I am still guessing that we will see our referral in the fall. Maybe as early as September, possibly as late as November but most likely we will see our referral in October.
Just a reminder, our referral for those of you that aren't aware, is the first time we will see our daughters face. We will receive a packet of information from the Chinese government that will include pictures of the child(ren) that they are referring to us and a brief medical history from when she was found. We will then finally know how old she is, how much she weighs, and which of the 400 million outfits we currently have for her will she fit into! We will finally know if it is one child or twins, do we need one crib or two, two carseats or four (two cars), etc.
In the mean time we are keeping very busy with all of the things going on here and time is passing quickly for us. Blog posts will be a little slower for awhile but I promise I will share more details soon!
Enjoy the rest of your summer!

So much to share and no time to share it! There is a lot going on mostly good and I promise to share all the news (none of it baby related) as soon as I can!
In the mean time, I am finding the time to take my photoshop class and here is one of my edited images from day one of the class. I don't know who the girl is, I shot this photo in Ocean City, NJ. She was obviously bored waiting for the rest of her family and she found this broken umbrella and started jumping off things with it. She even climbed the lifeguard station and jumped off of the roof. I thought she was very brave! I would never jump off the roof of the lifeguard station although you would probably never see me up there in the first place! ha ha
I'll be back soon I promise, and thanks for checking in!
