Derby Time!

Being from the Bluegrass state, this is an exciting time of year! Balloon races, a steamboat race, mini marathons, even a parade. All lead up to the Oaks race today and the Kentucky Derby tomorrow. School is even out today. We tried to go to the balloon glow last week, but the wind was too strong.

We are going to a friend's house tomorrow to watch the races. We will be with 6 of the families we traveled to China with in 2004. The girls are like sisters, but they don't really argue or fight. They can play all day, and late into the evening, and not have an argument. I am so glad she has these "sisters" in her life. It really gives her a connection to her past.

The adoption news continues to be distressing, to say the least. We have had a referral for almost 5 months, been waiting on our I-600 for 3+ months. It is getting harder and harder to respond to the questions about when we will travel. Since the newspaper articles about Vietnam, the questions are getting more frequent. It is reassuring to know people care, but it is also difficult to explain we just don't know.
