Happy New Year

Sorry for lack of pics and updates.  Here is what has been going on (typing this on phone while I am sitting here watching girls play beads so excuse typos).

Let's see, last post was the great news about our friends getting travel approval.  Well they are in China right now and have completed the adoption process and officially have their son Drew.  He is very handsome and just captures you with his eyes and smile.  We have been able to do video chat with them in China and they look great together.  They are staying in the same city and hotel that we were in just a few months ago except it is bitter cold for them. 

Okay, then Emma's first Christmas was great, she really got into the spirit of things and she still sings jingle bells as of this morning.  It is really cute, you hear mumble mumle mumble then something that you can kinda tell is one horse open sleigh and then a nice loud "hey"! 

We have some pics to share that Jonah took but the bad news is our car got broken into a couple days ago and the camera with all the pics for last few weeks was in Melissa's purse they stole.  So, we have been replacing all the stuff and getting van fixed etc.  All is well, nobody hurt but sad we lost those pictures we can't take again including Christmas. 

So, today I took the girls to breakfast and then we stopped by hobby lobby to get some craft supplies.  We just finished making homemade snow globes and Lily is sewing.  Emma want to go outside now so that's it for now.  Happy New Year everyone.
