Mom wasn't the only one to get presents on Mother's Day, Sarah did too!
The first gift for her was a pretty baby quilt from a lady at our church. It is so cute! And ALL pink, which I am sure she will love! The second was a beautiful lavendar dress from her oldest jie jie, Rachael, who just came home from college for the summer! It was so exciting to finally be recieving gifts for Sarah, and so much fun to unwrap them!
(Thanks you guys!!!)

Here is a look inside Sarah's growing closet!
We have to do something in the months of waiting...so shopping for Sarah is always fun. We have found some great deals at Children's Place, Oshkosh Outlet, and Carters. Today we found some amazing sales, we found some clothes for only $.99-1.99!!! That was at Children's Place, so if you haven't been there lately, I recommend going!
I am sure once we know Sarah's age for sure we can buy more clothes, right now we have it pretty scattered from 24 months- 3T, we are guessing she should be about 2, since that is what we requested, but you never know! Anyway, here are some of the most recent buys...

Well, my parents went in to be fingerprinted last week for the final set of fingerprints. Unfortunately we found out that my mom's prints didn't show up! Which was due to years of washing dishes...so she has an appointment in about two weeks to get them taken again. In the mean time she's gotta wear LOTS and LOTS of lotion!!! Along with no dish washing...
Once we get those, we just have our I71H to wait for! And then our dossier will be all ready! yay!
It's so nice to know we are getting closer!

I love this great video on China's orphans at: http://www.bringmehope.org
After watching it a few times I realized that all the children looked so familiar! Especially this one girl (the little one with the bowl of rice). I then went through my dad's pictures that he took while he was in Langfang, China, and found out that he had met her! She is such a cutie and I thought I would post a few pictures of her.

Yesterday, we got together with our good friends and their three adopted daughters from China. We went to the Zoo and had a great time. The little girls loved it! It was so much fun being with them, they are just so adorable! :) After the zoo, we went to China Town and had an authentic Chinese dinner, I also used chopsticks!

Yesturday (March 15) we had our LAST homestudy visit!!!! Now just waiting for our social-worker to write it up, and then we'll be done!! My 14th Birthday is in exactly one week from today, so maybe it'll be written up by then...that would be a amazing birthday present!!!! Then once we get the homestudy written up + a few more documents, we will have a dossier!!!!!!!!
