Waiting is hard...this we know

Hello all,

We are are still awaiting our LID (log in date) from China. Truthfully we expect it any day now. Our DTC date was June 29, and according to the CCAA they have processed all dossiers through June 30. So, hopefully any day now we will have our second big important date ...the LID.

We are starting to feel how long the wait is going to be though. Maybe because it's Summer and we have more free time right now, so we notice the wait more...I don't know. We knew that when we decided to do this it would take a long time. We just want to get our first daughter and start our lives over in a whole new way. We have already decided that we will do this all over again to get Avery a sister from China. That wait will probably seem not as long because we will have Avery to occupy us. We are just excited!! Some days are worse than others. I can't wait to start the nursery this Fall!!!

Just wanted to say thank you to those of you who have sent in your quilt squares and your wishes. It really does help Gary and I to receive those in the mail. It gives us hope and reassurance. It gives us something right now to hold on to. People forget to be excited for us sometimes because I don't have a pregnant belly. But we do have an image of a beautiful black haired little girl with pigtails that will dance around our house and sing and say Mommy and Daddy and make us giggle and smile and bring a lot of joy into our lives.

So waiting is hard...this we know far too well. But it's worth it and we can't wait!!!

Love to all
