Nimen Hao Pengyou!
We just returned home from the Utah Chinese School, where we have Gracie and Lucy enrolled in Saturday morning classes. They have fun learning Mandarin through singing, dancing and age appropriate activities. Mommy is in the pre-school class and is having fun learning too!
I spent a little time cleaning and vacuuming evidence of two toddlers from my Volvo and scrubbed the kitchen free of evidence of teenagers. After everything was satisfactorily sparkling and I managed to get my two teenagers and their friends to retreat to the basement, I logged on to the computer for some quiet reflection. What started out as quiet time, immediately turned into extreme excitement!
Imagine coming home to find this FABULOUS message from your adoption agency:
The only thing that could be better, is if I was in Alaska awaiting a flight to Beijing with the dossier for our "Rascal" (new nickname bestowed upon Abbie from from our new friends on the Waiting Child Yahoo Group!) We put our dossier together in only eight weeks! Actually, everything was ready in five weeks, but we had to wait for our I-171H. :)
For those of you who are not familiar with Stefani and Children's House International, I have to tell you that she is truly an angel in disguise. When we were searching for our Abbie, Stefani just happened to remember us, and through her diligence, and the help of other wonderful people in the Chinese adoption/aide community, Abbie is becoming our daughter! We are FOREVER grateful and truly blessed to know Stefani and the other angels on Earth.
Feel free to go online to fedex.com and track Abbie's package along with us!!!
Love, the Linne-Laughlin Family (soon to be of seven!)
