Happy Chinese New Year. Our agency did not receive travel approvals and they do not anticipate any arriving before Feb 5.
Julianna has a new word set: "I threw down (up) the mac and cheese".

I've seen some other bloggers do a "day in the life" photograph series, so I thought I would do a "day of dresses" photo series. We start with the happy princess running to the wardrobe to select her first outfit. She is wearing her jammies. Disney knows how to make money.
First up is the Belle dress, complete with Belle shoes. She will walk around in this one saying, I look like one of the princesses (Azalea Trail Maids).
After Belle came our Barbie and the Diamond Castle dress. Mattel has not quite mastered the money making potential of dress-up clothes, so she is wearing Minnie Mouse shoes. 
This was just an amusing side point in the day. Not sure why she likes to lay down here, but she does. She will even get her blanket and Miss Kitty and pretend to nap. 
Now we switch to Snow White, with shoes and wand.
And finally, our ballet outfit. This one was mommy's choice, not hers. But ballet class does have a dress code.
With regards to Keith's adoption, we are still awaiting travel approval. Next week is Chinese New Year, which means unless it was mailed today, we will not hear anything for more than a week. We were in the same position with Julianna's adoption, awaiting travel approval when china went on vacation for CNY. It is a frustrating position, knowing you are so close and having them basically shut down for a week.

These are from the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola. It is a fabulous museum for children. The airplanes are all hands on, which is fantastic for a plane lover. It was wonderful.We are once again in the waiting phase--waiting for our travel approval. Right now it feels so close, yet so far. And just to remind me of the theme of our adoption journey, tonight's sermon was on perseverance.

I mentioned a few posts back that I'm not sure what to do with the blog anymore. Our pastor has have quite a few sermons lately about how everything we do should honor God. It made me start thinking about the blog and what I say on it, as well as what I don't say. I think I need to take a different direction with what goes on the blog, try to make it more about my faith and the strength I find in it.
