Our T-ball Player




I don't have any adoption news to report so I thought ya'll might like to see some pictures. Olivia played t-ball for the first time this year. She LOVED it! I was an assistant coach. The girls were all so cute. The team was named the Ladybugs. We wanted to sign her up for soccer this fall but she missed the birthday cut off by two weeks. I'm going to sign her up for gymnastics this week. We have to keep this girl busy. She has enough energy for ten people!

ARGH!!!

Well I just read an email from our agency that said they do not expect any more referrals this month. So much for "soon". It looks like we won't travel until October at the earliest. It's frustrating knowing that we have been matched with a baby and she is steadily getting older. I found out that their is a family that has a DTV of 4/20. They have been DTV a week longer than me with no referral. It's funny that Vietnam moves quickly compared to China but this adoption will end up taking longer than Ethan's adoption. His was nine months from start to finish!

Another Week

Well, here we go again. We just went another week with no referral. Our agency says we are "matched" with a baby and they fully expect our referral to be in the next batch. The big question is when the next batch will come. All they can tell us is "soon". I have quit almost breaking my neck to answer the phone when it rings. It will happen "soon". I just have to be patient...... yeah, right!!

Another Tough Blow!

I just read an email from my agency stating that they received 12 referrals!! Again we were not in this batch. Who knows when we will get our call. She did say that we were matched with a baby but that some orphanages and provinces take longer to get their paperwork done. You would know that they would match us with a baby from a slow province since Davis and I are the most impatient people on the planet!! Maybe we'll hear soon.

Still No Referral

I found out that our agency received 6 referrals but we were not in this batch as we had hoped. There were only three girls. I expect it to be another month before new referrals come in. We may not even be in that batch if it is mostly boys. It will happen soon enough. We are slowly moving up the list.

Olivia's Party




We had Olivia's 4th birthday party Tuesday night at Pump It Up. We combined with her friend Lily. Their birthday are about two weeks apart. They are both turning four. The kids had a BLAST. We had 32 kids there not counting Olivia and Lily!

More Referrals!

Our agency received 10 referrals today! They are expecting more soon. We could possibly be in the next batch. The amazing thing is that these families could travel as soon as the end of July! That is much quicker than the estimated 2-4 months for travel. We're getting a little excited here at the Wilson house.

Atrial Fibrillation

Sounds serious, right? Well it's the name of the heart condition that Davis has had for about four years. For the past few months his medicine hasn't been working so we went to see his cardiologist today. He recommended Ablation surgery. We have an appointment in two weeks to talk to the doctor who will do it. There is about an 85% cure rate for this condition after having this surgery. Please keep Davis in your prayers.
