Happy New Year!

New photo for the new year! We love you Sami!

Hidden Meaning

Nikki recently reminded me of a dream she had years ago as we waited for Jaidyn -

She's swimming underwater and looks up through the water and sees two beautiful girls in their diapers seated beside the pool.

- After recent research she noticed both Jaidyn and Samia are Pisces.

Another great moon tonight

Here's to you Sami. We're coming as soon as we can sweetie. Love you. Dad.

PA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

China pre-approved us before the new year!!! Nikki says Samia's Chinese name means moon. On this same night I noticed a full moon with the largest ring I've ever seen :)

Merry Christmas Sami

Jai Li picked out the cutest little back pack for her little sister knowing she would need it for the trip to America next year. We all put in her stocking. Merry Christmas.

New photos

Nikki hit the motherload after searching online. What a gift these photos are. Look at those wonderful eyes!

Fingerprinting

Was able to get ink fingerprinting done tonight

Kisses from your sister

Jaidyn blew and threw kisses to little sister Sami on the way to school this morning. She said, "They flew all the way to China and into her heart."

Her little red horse

Welcome to our hearts, Baby Samia

Our very first photo of Baby Samia. I had to laugh when I saw this; I had just a few days earlier been looking at this bouncy horse online. It's a little young for Jai Li, but so cute and I was shamelessly coveting it! I even put it in my wish list, the very same toy. And then the agency sends this photo. :) Jai really wants it now!
