The new year.....

2007 is off to a flying start! Randy turned 39 on the 4th, Regan began her reharsals for "The Miracle Worker"( she was cast as Helen Keller) Taylor has grown about a foot, and Ms. Laney Liu Who is...well...Laney. We are blessed with numerous art creations everyday thanks to all of the wonderful paints, markers, crayons, etc that she received for Christmas. We also rearranged the bedroom so the girls no longer share one. We knew it was time when Delaney began wearing her "Delaney needs quiet time, do not disturb for 10 minutes" sign around her neck rather than hanging it from the door to their room. They are both thrilled with having their own space, although Delaney says she didn't realize it was such hard work having your own room. She is responsible for cleaning it herself now since she no longer has JieJie to pick up after her. Taylor and Jethro are also enjoying their bachelor pad downstairs. Until Miller comes home, they have it all to themselves. It comes complete with computer, television, and the real slot machine Taylor received for Christmas!! (Thanks again Nana and PopPop!) We are still waiting for our 171. I have it from a very good source (Thanks Renee!) that is only taking a month rather than the 3 the USCIS Detroit office quotes. so we expect it by the end of January. We are on track to have our paperwork to China in February, so keep us in your thoughts! In the meantime enjoy the new pics! Enjoying my new tea set with Granny
