     New Hope group 11 of 2001's referrals came in yesterday.  That means we are NEXT!  I am getting excited, nervous, scared and worried all at the same time.  I am excited that after this long, long wait we will finally see our child's beautiful face.  Nervous about how she will react to us.  Scared that RaeAnne will not like her new sister.  And worried how long we will have to wait before we travel to China.  It is such a time of turmoil!

     PopPop came today to be here for Thanksgiving.  I told him about his becoming a PopPop again.  He didn't act too mad!  I hope he understands how important this is to me.  He did turn down the chance to go to China with us.  No getting him out of the country!  I still don't know how it is going to work out...if we can afford for all of us to make the trip.  I really want the family to go, but we will have to see what our financial situation is at the time to travel.

 
     I was busy today getting ready for Thanksgiving.  It was very cold and windy today.  Real winter weather.
