Yep she's a cutie.....

We sent a package back for Linnea with Jenny our contact in China over the holidays.  We got some pictures of her opening the things we sent.  I had also sent some questions to TCH asking about Linnea and her personality.  Well here is what we got... I did not change any of the translation that was lost in the answers to the questions we sent....

Does she sleep in a crib or a bed? Sleep alone baby bed

It seems as if she is a little thing.  These clothes I sent were 24 mos and they look big!!  And it looks like she and Ethan have some things in common - sucking their fingers and a love for bars!!  

We are awaiting on our notice from the National Visa Center that our paperwork has been cabled to Guanzhou.  Once we receive that - then our adoption agency will send the last of the paperwork to China - we will wait for that to be delivered to the Adoption Center in China and then await travel approval.  With Chinese New Year coming up - our wait will be extended a bit longer than usual.  Our agency says we should expect to travel in March.  Please continue to pray for us that God would provide what we still need to finalize the adoption and pray for Linnea as she has a huge transition ahead of her. 

As always thanks for keeping us with us!!
