Waiting for the Referral

I thought it was time that I got this blog up and running so that I can practice and get ready for the big day! That is "referral day." This is the day that we will finally get pictures of our little Lucy. In addition, we will get medical records and any other information they may have about her. This is our formal "invitation to adopt."  We had hoped that this day would have come in August, but alas, it seems we must wait a bit longer. That is okay. It should happen next month. For those of you who like to follow, China has been releasing these precious and long awaited documents around the 21st of the month...so maybe September 21st-ish we will receive what we have been waiting for since 9-12-05 (the day we took the first step to start the adoption process). We know many of you have been praying....keep them coming. We feel them and they are working. I have attached a photo of Lucy's almost-complete room. (I need to practice uploading photos too!) Just as a side note, when I asked Brian what we should name the blog, within 5 seconds he said "Life with Lucy."  And so the title was created and our official journey online with you begins...
