a good start to the year

4 referrals this week! Families are still waiting since November 2007, but we're getting closer.

Happy New Year!

Well, I was hoping to be updating with something exciting, but nothing exciting has happened. We are still just waiting for a phone call...kinda boring but thatʼs what weʼre doing.

We had a very nice Christmas, and a fun New Yearʼs Eve that we spent with friends. Again this year Chuck made out alright at Christmas. Chuck got a rocking cow. Yes, thatʼs right, a rocking cow. I know, sounds silly but those of you who know about my strange cow obsession, itʼs not so silly. Chuck also got a Big Wheel. Unfortunately, itʼs going to be sitting for a few years until Chuck is old enough, unless Ethan and I get out riding it ourselves. Again, one of those weird things of mine, since I never had one as a kid. Itʼs more of a joke than anything, but I love it.

Hopefully weʼll have some sort of news soon.

Come on December!

12-2: Update from the Bethany blog

Only 23 days until Christmas and the year end is quickly coming too! How did 2008 go by so quickly? Onto the good news - we received five referrals this week! Families waiting for referrals are now waiting since November 2007. Eight children arrived home in November with more children already scheduled to travel home in December.
