Florida Fun

We are visiting Orlando Florida for the boys spring break. We have had a lot of fun visiting the Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studio's. We went to Blizzard Beach yesterday and had a BLAST. My boys are always up for anything but if it involves water, even better. Here our all my boys jumping into the pool. Jake is learning to swim without his bubble and is SO proud.

Ready

Set

Go!

Unfortunately Josh caught a stomach bug last night. We are laying low today recuperating ( I hope). The only good thing about being sick away from home is that you can call for extra sheets when needed. We have some more fun things planned so hopefully Josh will be feeling better and we can keep the other boys from getting sick.

No hearing news for us yet. Quite a few families with our agency did get notification that their hearing is about to take place or already did take place. I am encouraged that things are moving along and am hoping that our hearing already took place and we just don't know about it yet. Please send the "fast court process" vibe our way. We are so looking forward to Lauren being home with us.

A small moment to share

Today I went to register Jake for kindergarten. I had filled out all the paperwork back in January and sent it in then. Today I had to provide proof of residency, birth cert and immunization records. As I walked in I was handed one last form to fill out. I filled in all our family information and for the 1st time wrote that I had 4 children and wrote a "1" next to the spot for sisters. Wow.

Her name is...

Lauren Elisabeth Yen-Chun

We have finally settled on a name for our girl. We are keeping her given Chinese name as a middle name and also using a family name as the middle name as well. Elisabeth/Elizabeth is a family name that many of the women in my family have. It is my middle name and my mother's first and middle name ( Elisa Beth). It is also the name of a grandmother and great grandmother. I wanted Lauren to have a name that had special meaning and I think it is perfect. My boys have family names as their middle names and they do think they are special and I have to agree.


p.s. Congratulations to H on getting the long awaited travel call. I am so excited to meet your guy!

p.p.s. Welcome home to my friend S and her beautiful girl.
