Kevin talked to staff at our agency yesterday. We're pretty much at the top of the stack. Just waiting on either the St. Lucy's Center or Chung Yi to contact our agency and say, "Okay... we've got x number of boys and y number of girls. Send us your next families to match with them." And then (hopefully) a few weeks (hopefully 1-2, please please please) later we'll be contacted with a referral where we're told that we're matched with a child.

Ya know, the timing just might we right for a referral while we're traveling in Texas in September to visit with Kevin's sister and her family! So many people say they get their referral calls when they're away from home! We haven't even been out of the Hoosier state since we visited Kevin's family in Florida for Christmas. I'm ready to get the heck out of town!

This week I "met" online a really nice gal that knows her info has been sent to St. Lucy's and it's taking a long while to hear back. We talked on the phone and I felt that we really connected and have a lot in common. Our prayers go out to her and other loving families in limboland waiting nervously for information. I've got to share and learn so much from other Taiwan adoptive families. Thanks so much guys!

Sedona's fine now... no tummy trouble, but she's not behaving at the groomer. The groomer says that Sedona won't let her clean her ears. We're going out to buy dog ear cleaning powder and solution today. I had no idea that one was supposed to remove the little hairs from inside dog ears so they don't trap ear wax. I wouldn't like my ears tweezed, either! And I thought eyebrow waxing was no fun! So, Sedona's going to be pretty mad at mommy and daddy when we attempt a good ear cleaning this weekend. Kevin wonders if one could use nose hair trimmers to just trim the hair in dog ears really well rather than pull it out. Sigh! The rough life of dog parenthood!
