Best Face Photo

i ❤ faces is having their first birthday celebration this week with their "Best Face Photo" theme.

This is definitely my favorite in the last couple of months! Ana loves her baby and I LOVE how their eyes match!

A GOOD (last minute) Meeting

On Sunday we got to meet up with good friends from our past! We often connect with people that have left through the internet, but it's rare to actually meet up with them! So glad that we could meet face to face and catch up! Ana and Samuel played well together and she liked seeing the new baby! Afterwards, we went and ate butter chicken and naan. Matt was overjoyed to hear that the place was opening a branch just down the road from school! (He won't starve while I'm gone!)

What I Will Miss...AND What I'm Looking Forward To

I will miss:
MATT, friends, Chinese, Indian, and Indonesian food, Chinese New Year :(, International Night, our India team, and Ana will desperately miss fish balls and greens (I've let her have them quite often recently to get her through the next two months).

What I'm looking forward to:
Family, Mexican food, quiet, space, a car, Wal-Mart, sales, nature, WINTER, enjoying a church service, not having to mop three times a week!!!!, no geckos or cockroaches!!!!

Pray for Matt has he has some major projects for his class, school, and no help at home!

Christmas Thank You

Fish Toast??

So Ana is finally to that age where she's started really speaking. Today we had french toast. She said,"I don't want any fish toast." So, we spent five minutes trying to explain the word french toast--no go. It's still fish toast to her (maybe it's because she has a love affair with fish balls?)

The other day we got her ready to go out for a walk. I selected a pair of shoes, she put them next to her dress, and said, "Mom, (not mommy) is it a match?" Matt just about died laughing. I have a 27 month fashionista--probably shouldn't have played all those matching games!

Merry Christmas!

Adoption Update

Sorry to say we did not pass court again :( China's family did not come. We are still waiting to hear if Behailu's case passed! Our new court date is January 25th!

Thanks for praying! God has a plan even if we don't understand it!

Good Things!

1. We found bean bag filling for about the same price as in the States--can cross that off my list.
2. A Wendy's opened in Singapore--frosty here I come!!
3. I found Christmas fabric at 75% off (I've never seen anything at 75% off--a big sale here is 20%!). So Ana gets to have a Christmas skirt!
4. We have a restful Christmas planned!
5. SKYPE! Ana can see and talk to all the relatives!
