Beach Girl Wanna Be and Various ramblings


We booked a condo for Gulf Shores right after school is out and the kids are so excited. I picked Anna up a swimsuit and she keeps wearing it around the house. In this picture, she was practicing on her invisible surf board, but she kept calling it an invisible skate board. The things she comes up with! And yes, her legs are as long in person as they look in this picture! My parents will be heading down to Alabama with us, but they have decided to take their pop up camper. They do this quite often and enjoy the outdoors. Besides, it will give them some peace and quiet away from all of us. My house is pretty noisy!

Today she is running around the house in it and keeps calling herself Anna Banana Montana. Or just Anna Montana. She likes watching the Hannah Montana show on TV. She is a hoot this week.

GOOD NEWS....my friend who has Julia from Anna's Orphanage (see Biehl family or Max on the left) is getting closer to going to S.Korea for baby Max! The Eckert's from our China Travel group are also going to get baby Theo from S. Korea in teh near future! And if that wasn't enough, a friend called me last night and said she got a referral for a boy from S. Korea, too. The Korea adoption Program with Lifelink is going soo fast right now and it is just amazing. China is taking forever (2-3 years to get a referral...unlike the 5.5 months we waited for Anna.) These families that signed up with Korea are as shocked as Lifelink is. It is like lightening speed. Families are signing up and getting a phone call less than 2 months later! And oh my goodness, these babies are adorable. Travel after referral is taking a few months. Some families choose to travel to Korea, but most families meet their babies at the Airport in the US and a Korean escort gets the babies to the States. It is all so different from China and it is so interesting to hear how the program works.
