S0- updates on family expansion- still waiting for the referral for baby brother as he is called affectionately in our household. Hoping to go in December or January- but who knows? After 16 months of "expecting," it is getting a little old, and we possibly jumped the gun in telling Kylia since 3 year olds think in minutes, not exactly months. But she is excited and will explain to anyone who will listen that we are getting baby brother in Africa, although she is not a reliable source for the timeline. Right now my best guess for a referral is somewhere between 2 weeks and 8 months. Not an exact science. We have had a wonderful summer of birthdays, travel, and Kylia's new preschool, which she loves. I am back to work, and Wes' library is pretty much done. Had a fun opening weekend after Labor Day.
Highlights of the the last few months follow, but the biggest for me is my new favorite person, Zinash, who now braids Kylia's hair. I was extremely happy to hand over that job, and you can see the difference starting with Heritage Camp pics.
We celebrated Kylia's 2nd Gotcha Day on Oct. 30th- can't believe we have been a family for 2 years! Cousin Sydney and good friend Cody were on hand to help celebrate, complete with Ethiopian outfits. And Winnie the Pooh helped to celebrate by providing the decorative dessert. Grandparents and more friends helped to celebrate the day. Thanks to Gary for great pics- in fact he took many of the ones you see on our blog!
