What a day!

What a handsome boy.


Goin' swimming.

Cool dude.


Let's see it started off with our visas arriving per UPS right about 10 AM. Grace and I were doing the happy dance about that. Now our TA just needs to arrive, but hey we can get into China now, Whoo hoo! Then I notice that babies are arriving which is just wonderful of course. Congrats to all the new moms and dads. Referral day is amazing and so happy. Lastly....I received updated photos of William today. The last photos I had of him were dated over a year ago and I had hoped that we'd get to see something more recent and we hit the jackpot! Here are 3 of him taken just a month ago, in May of 2008. He is one handsome dude is all I can say. He looks great, he looks happy, healthy and well taken care of and loved. When I saw the photos for the first time this afternoon it set me off in a series of crying jags...happy crying. Now I just want to go to China. Without further delay, let me upload these photos of our beautiful little boy William. I can't wait to hold him in my arms. :)

Gail:

Congratulations on your referral. William is a beautiful bou. Emma and Ping loved the picture of him in his bathing suit. They have been asking for a brother and even more so after seeing William's picture. You are in our prayers. Hope you will travel soon.

Ping also loved the pictures of her Fu sisters. She said they looked silly. A compliment at age 5.
