Updates on Guatemalan and Christina

An amendment was submitted on October 9th to let In Process Cases to use the old adoption rules and not stop on 1-1-2008. It will be voted on on November 4th. We are so thankful for all those who signed the petition. It helped more than you know. Here is another petition to Boycott UNICEF this Halloween. When I was growing up we used to go around and collect money for UNICEF instead of trick-or-treating. They have really changed their position on a lot of things since then. Please sign this petition as your show of support for all adoptive families and their children who are waiting to come home to the US especially those in process. Boycott UNICEF This Halloween Petition Now on to our happy little girl.....Christina. She wakes up smiling until she goes to sleep. She had another virus with an ear infection but she is all better and smiling again. Now her gums are swelling becuase she is getting 4 molars and 4 eye teeth at the same time. What happened to only getting two at a time. She got six in last time she was teething. She took three steps and can stand up on her own from the floor with no assistance. She stands clapping her hands because she is so proud.
"What is so bad about outside. It looks fun Mamma, can I go?"
Here is our happy little girl.
Now that it's getting darker earlier we are able to play cards again. Here are Joe and the kids playing. Christina is trying to place, too. And Yes, we still have tomatoes yet:)
We have pigtails, but due to the men in the family. Maria and I are banned from doing it again until she has 6 more inches of hair. Shhhh...Maria and I think she looks cute.
