2006 matching is done

May 19th 2006 was our log in date for our girls. That date will always stay with me, each month and every year that passed we waited for the Chinese Government to get to our official date for our matching. We waited over 4 years to be matched.

It's official that by the end of the month they will have matched all families, that have a 2006 log in date, with children. Finally all those that sent their paperwork into China waiting to be matched with a non special needs child have been match thru 2006.

It has taken the Chinese Government almost 8 years to process 1 years worth (2006) of log in dates (LID). We were matched with our girls on November 2, 2010 and we met them Jan 2011. It has taken them 4years to get thru 7 months worth of waiting families. That means that if you were delayed in getting your paperwork to china for any reason by just a couple of months, it made your wait for matching with your child several YEARS longer.

Congratulations to all the families that have been matched with your sweet little babies from China!

A great time at the Parks

We have a great time with our year long pass to the SW park. We went as often as we could and we took advantage of the year round celebrations and fun. The best time of year was Christmas time, they outdid themselves with decorations, show and activities. We went 3 times to try and take it all in. The kids love this park and when we are home with Milo and settled in we might just get another year long pass to go again.

Here are some pictures from SW and some others that were on my phone over the last month or so. The kids are getting so big and i can't get over how much they have changed. Nate is now 7 years old and the girls will have their birthday in March, they will be 5. The Lord has truly blessed us with some amazing children.

 Enjoy the photos.

Just after Christmas and got a few extra shots
