     We attended the From China With Love Easter Egg hunt yesterday at the park.  RaeAnne was excited to see the Easter bunny until she got close to him and saw how big he was.   Then she would have nothing to do with him again.  But she did have fun hunting for eggs.   There were a couple of babies there who have only been home a couple of weeks.  I can't wait!  RaeAnne had fun with the babies.

     More quilting pieces are coming in.  I have about 80 squares for each girl.  I need about 150 per girl.

     There are a couple of families here who I have been in contact with that want to adopt from China again.  I think that is great!  I am so excited to go back for a sibling for RaeAnne.  I know there will be days she will wish I hadn't, but someday she will understand.

     We are 4 months into the wait.

     I was dreaming early this morning that we had received our referral!  Is this a red thread?  RaeAnne interrupted my dream with a nightmare of her own.  Today at work my blood pressure was extremely high for me.  My co-workers insisted that I go to the emergency room to be checked out.  Of course, everything was okay.  It was a wasted trip.

     Tonight we are having a winter storm move into Wichita.  The wind chill is to be below zero.  The wind is to be strong and cold all weekend, so we will probably stay in the house all weekend.

     Daddy is on his way to Arkansas to buy his "new" car.  Hope the weather doesn't get too bad so he can make it home.  I have contracted with Pam Smith to make our two 100 Good Wishes quilts.  I joined another swap so will have to get busy cutting fabric.  The quilts are going to be so pretty.  I hope the girls like them as much as I am going too.

     We are now over 3 months into the wait.  That hopefully means about 10 more months.  It will be interesting to see KaeLynn's birthdate.  Is it March 1st?
