FIRST RULING IS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are coming to bring you home Paige just a few more weeks......

Yea we finally got first ruling today... We are told to expect 4-6 weeks to final ruling(it could be longer) but we are so hoping for the shorter time frame. WOW WE ARE VERY EXCITED.

Yesterday was the last day of school!! We hosted our annual End of the Year Class Party for Coleton. We have been doing this since Coleton was in pre-school. This year 20 kids came. They always have a blast.. and the weather held out. My poor hubby had to set up and run most of the party because I was sick. But he pulled it off and did a great job.

Love this kid!!!

My little guy has been sick the past few days. He is running a high fever with a cough. The Dr. says it could be strep, or just viral hmmm. So we give him his meds and then by the evening he wanted to go to his last Little League game... so we let him. Now back to the fever today, stay home from school and then I am sure he will want to go to football camp this evening.. go figure...

I have a lot of pictures that I took and never posted. So since my little guy is so on my mind today, and most days... look at this card he made me for mother's day. I had to take a picture of it so in case the card gets lost one day I will still have the picture of it.
I love this kid so much!!!!

Football already?

Can you believe Coleton had football practice tonight??? Oh boy, it brings back memories of standing on that very cold field for 2 hours... with nothing but a disgusting port o potty... I wonder how I will do this with Paige. The weather was miserable tonight... very damp, very October like. Tomorrow off to a playoff BASEBALL GAME... then this weekend we will be at a double header for his travel baseball team. My little man loves all this activity, and since we would do just about anything for this charming little boy, well we have learned to sort of love all his activities as well.

OK so who's counting but I am on summer vacation until September in 4 more days!!!!

Happy Father's Day.... and 7 months old.

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband. He is a great dad and I hope he knows that. He didn't have a role model growing up, so all this is because he is who he is. I can not wait for Paige to meet him and to see him as a daddy of a little girl this time around.

Today, Paige is 7 months old. Again, we never imagined that she would still be in Taiwan on Father's day. If she only knew how much this family loves her.....

There are no words.

Ok just a few words: This is our update for June taken on May 24th. What an adorable little cutey and is just so beautiful to us. We have sent so many different rattles and toys to her and yet they give her things that we haven't sent. She grew 2 inches and not so much in weight. I want to jump into the picture and take her home right now.

13 pounds 24 inches long

Nada, Zilch

The past week was another disapointing week. I had heard from our agency on Monday as a followup to my email from Friday. Nothing has changed. It has been confirmed by each of us checking in with each other, there is a total of 4 familie affected by this awful judge. One of the families has written a letter due to their child's developmental issues. I was told by my agency if that works for them then maybe we could try the same thing..... ARE YOU F**********G KIDDING ME????? That is all they have for a suggestion? Well, of course I am freaking out, and have sent another email this past Thursday requesting a judge change. No answer. One of the families have also contacted the State Dept. not sure they can be much help, but maybe we will get some answers. I am ready to do anything. I think if we ban together maybe we can see some action. This is hard, because on one hand you want to take action but on the other hand it is a foreign country, and I wouldn't want them to not rule for us because we are too pushy etc. I am really losing it though. Thank God I am busy with everything else.

14 more working days for me, and 15 more school days for Coleton. Wooohooo. Love summer break. We can't really plan a vacation because we just don't know when we will travel to get Paige. Coleton is finishing up LaCrosse, and is going into playoff for baseball. He is then playing travel baseball and we have him signed up for summer camps.

This week should be an update week so check back to see if I recieved new updates of our already 6 month old daughter.
