61 months since LID

Can you believe it!

We will be announcing "A Chocolate and Coffee Party" to indroduce all our friends to a delicious free-trade coffee we are selling through Just-love-coffee roasted coffee as a fundraiser for our adoption from China. Please consider buying some and telling your friends about it. Every bag sold earns us $5.00 toward our China adoption. I have tried the sunshine blend and am working my way through some other blends. They are really good!
A BIG thank-you in advance.
Dave and Kari Speckman

Look to the right hand column for the link to Just Love Coffee Roasters - our personal family store.

We just requested paperwork from our agency to get paperwork updated for China....

Bjorn and Kaitlin- My 2 oldest. It seems like yesterday we were watching Carebears and playing with TMNT (teenage mutant ninja turtles). Today we are expecting a baby.

Tonight I anxiously await a call from Kaitlin. She is due to have her baby on Sunday. I know it could be anytime between now and 2 weeks from now. I don't wish that on her. She was late- 9 days late and I remember how miserable I was waiting for her. Although it was 90 everday and now the weather is quite tolerable.
However, there is a full moon tonight and that should get something started!?
Stay tuned...

Happy Chinese New Year 4709.

First post the new year- both the gregorian (western)calender and the Chinese calender. so- Happy New Year! which ever one you choose to recognize.

So- what does this mean? Why am I thinking about this blog?

Its been 18 months since we brought home Sasha and Masha.

They have adjusted well.

Yes, I have been very very busy and have little time to blog- or facebook or even check emails.

We are 4 years- 4 months and 2 days since LID! UNBELIEVABLE!

We have not completed THIS adoption process.

My child still waits in China.
Where is this going- I am not sure but my heart strings are being pulled very hard!
Stay tuned.
