Journey To Baby Austin: What a surprise!
http://journeytobabyaustin.blogspot.com/2013/03/what-surprise.html
Journey To Baby Austin. Follow along as our family of three waits to become a family of four. Monday, March 11, 2013. When I saw I missed a call from Holt this afternoon I thought perhaps they were looking for all of the paperwork that I was planning on going throught this past weekend. Turns out Holt was calling to tell me that they received our LOA! I could not believe how fast that arrived! Holt commented on how quick it arrived too. I can not believe it! We may be in China in the middle of summer!

Journey To Baby Austin: October 2012
http://journeytobabyaustin.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Journey To Baby Austin. Follow along as our family of three waits to become a family of four. Sunday, October 21, 2012. I do know that every step was so worth it. A year from now, I will probably have forgotten how frustrated I was when I received the call that our document was rejected. Maybe. Maybe not. But a year from now, maybe we will be preparing to travel to bring Linh's little sister home. Or maybe Linh's little sister will already be home.

Journey To Baby Austin: June 2009
http://journeytobabyaustin.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Journey To Baby Austin. Follow along as our family of three waits to become a family of four. Saturday, June 27, 2009. Has it really been 3 months? It seems like yesterday that we stepped thru the doors at Metro airport carrying our very exhausted little girl. Yet Thursday marked 3 months home. During this time Linh has become very comfortable in her home and even more comfortable with us. It seems as though she has always been here. She is such a happy and fun little girl.

Journey To Baby Austin. Follow along as our family of three waits to become a family of four. Sunday, July 21, 2013. Day 2 in Beijing also included lots of walking in 95 degree temperatures, but way less stairs. We went to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Both were impressive and both were super crowded. We used our Mandarin phrase Bu Yao over and over to the countless vendors. Breakfast buffet at hotel-. Friday, July 19, 2013. We arrived in Beijing! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 12/12/07 #33 on "l...

Wise Family: February 2010
http://phowises.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 8, 2010. President's Day Tournament/Week 2 of Dance. After class Diane offered to make copies of the songs for me that they sing and move to in class for me to do with her at home. Here's how that conversation went:. Diane: I could make copies of the songs for you. Me: Do I have to do this at home? Is this like a Suzuki dance class? Diane: No, but I'll give you a sticker if you do. It might make her more willing to participate. How's that for a slacker mom response? Nanna said she spent ...

Wise Family: Road Trip: Days 2-4
http://phowises.blogspot.com/2011/08/road-trip-days-2-4.html
Friday, August 5, 2011. Road Trip: Days 2-4. The boys have done really well on this trip so far. They haven't really even watched that many movies on the DVD player. They find other ways to amuse themselves in the car. For example: building forts in the back of the van and using coffee cup holders to make hats for the dog. We stopped in Watson Lake to see the Sign Post Forest. Our only regret was not bringing our own sign to nail to a post. Proponent of socialized medicine. Antler Beer, eh? Hey Matt (& f...

Wise Family: January 2011
http://phowises.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 4, 2011. Maya turned five on January 2nd. It was a nice way to wrap up a very busy and fun New Year celebration. Her Aunt Kathleen came down from Fairbanks. Her Aunt Kristin came from Palmer. Uncle Michael and Aunt Karyn came from Anchorage with Cousin Boo. Uncle Michael brought fireworks and she stayed up past midnight to watch the fireworks show! We ate lots of yummy food and opened more presents so it was like Christmas and New Year all rolled in one. I love my Dora and Diego cake!

Wise Family: British Columbia
http://phowises.blogspot.com/2011/08/british-columbia.html
Sunday, August 7, 2011. Reasons we love Canada #4: Ketchup chips (and honey mustard and dill pickle). Reasons we love Canada #5: this bench made out of hockey sticks. The drive from Jasper to Banff. The only ugly apartment building in Banff are living quarters for the staff who work in hotels and restaurants like this one:. The boys decided they like Jasper better than Banff. It seems more down to earth. They even have a dog park. In fact, everywhere went, people wanted to pet our dog. One Year of Maya.
