Kate gets a playhouse!

We had a mini army of workers at the house to build a playset for Kate. We thought we could knock it out in an hour or two.....We were wrong. Some of these folks were here for many hours, and finished under the light of a flashlight beam at 7pm! We have the greatest friends - Kate will be so blessed.

Here is our Foreman. He had to be replaced. He had a bad attitude.

The next two were no better.

Sydney & Mel were found sleeping on the job.

Finally Gigi & L-Cool got us started. We took it in shifts & eventually we got it built. Here are some shots.

Latest News

Hi all- today is Kate’s third birthday, and it turned out to be an amazing news day. Not only did we get our "log in date" with China, the agency received our "letter seeking confirmation" package this afternoon!! This is what we’ve been waiting for for 6 weeks, and apparently it came much faster than usual. It also means that we may have the opportunity to travel to China to get her before the end of the year!!
