Just an update and a video

Nothing to much is new regarding our adoption as of now.  We  plan on traveling sometime between mid March and mid April.  However, we did want to post a link to a video that we now have of Ally.  You probably wont watch it quite as much as Abby and I did but we hope you like it.

Its someones Birthday......Happy Birthday Ally!!!!

I know it has been forever since we last updated our blog but unfortunately we were at a stand still after the end of August.  However, things are rolling again.  We received a very important document last week that has allowed us to continue moving forward again.  Right now our estimated time for travel will be March or April.  We have received updates regarding Ally along with new pictures that you see above. The little Nala stuffed animal that she is holding is one of the things Abby and I sent her in our care package.  This the exact information that we were given in our update:

"Sui Xiu Mei, 9kg, 80cm, 44cm head, 46cm chest, 13cm foot, 15 teeh. She has been quite strong and hardly get sick. She can walk very well. She moves very fast. She has a super good appetite and always sleeps well. She can sleep through the night. She likes to say hi to all her nannies in the morning. She talks to other children a lot. She is very outgoing and never be shy. She is also doing well with other children. She is smart, active and full of energy. She has her temper sometimes. She is in a good shape generally".

  Also, this turns out to be Ally Cathrine's 2nd Birthday.  Abby and I had a little birthday party for her this morning.  This should be the last one she has to spend with out her mom and dad.  We just want to thank everyone for your prayers and support in our effort to bring our little girl home.  Your kindness has overwhelmed Abby and I.  Thank you all so much.  I realize this blog is kind of all over the place but we will do our best to keep it updated on a regular basis.
