New Pictures and a Hopeful Update!

I got a present in my inbox this morning. :) :) :) Our coordinator who lives near Anna's orphanage was able to get some updated pictures for us. I want to give her a big hug and tell her THANK YOU!  We've had so many weeks of nothing.  No word, no updates.  This made us so happy. I e-mailed them to Jeremy and he said they made him cry. Our little girl is looking older. The last pictures we have of her were from May. Boy they change in five months time! She's as gorgeous as ever though.

"You really want me to play with this chick?"

"Now, I don't know about this old lady, either.

Are you sure she's not the big, bad wolf?"

"And what about the snake? 

Could someone show me a cute baby doll or a kitty or something?."

"Thanks.  That's much better."

Doesn't look like they got any smiles out of her. She was probably a little nervous because they brought her and Ian into the play room and there was this unfamiliar woman in there taking pictures of them.  A little out of the ordinary!    I have to mention that I laughed when I saw she has a cold sore.  Those little buggers are my biggest plague in life.  I get them all the time and so does Sadie.  So she'll fit right in and get lots of sympathy from us. 

Oh, we just love her!

And...here's the best part of the day!  The director of the committee is BACK TO WORK!!!!!!!  We have been praying for her recovery for weeks!  The lady who is over the dossiers didn't give our coordinator a definate committment of WHEN...but she *hopes* they will get around to reading our dossier this week. Please,  please... GET AROUND TO IT!  Anna is waiting for us!
