Another good week waiting on Ellie Kay (or "Ellie Tay" as Tru says)
We have had a good week this week. It has been week #2 of school and week # "I have lost count" on waiting for Ellie Kay. :) I was able to meet with a sweet lady here in Memphis this week who recently adopted from the same province (Jiangxi), and she leant all sorts of helpful advice (Thanks Katherine!). We also received a little updated info from our agency and know that EK is sitting up by herself per reports which is hopefully correct information. (Babies adopted from China are often very developmentally behind since they don't normally have any belly or floor time).
We also received some great news that we will be a featured family starting this coming week on http://give1save1asia.blogspot.com. Basically it's a blog that features a different family each week and asks its followers to donate $1 to the featured families to save 1 orphaned child. It's such a cool concept! We're so thankful for this opportunity! To be a featured family, they recommended to submit a video, which we will post this coming week. I'm not a super "techy" person, so the video took me all day a couple of weeks ago to create in IMovie, and it isn't perfect, but tells our story pretty succinctly in a short amount of time.
In the meantime, the big boys are busy with school and soccer. This is a pic of them in long sleeved shirts/jeans preparing to do one of their favorite past times - exploring in the woods (since we have quite a bit of poison ivy and they're quite allergic).
Tru has been busy learning new words and phrases and being the most adorable 2 year old on the planet! He cracks me up every day with his mannerisms and language that sounds like it should be coming from a big boy instead of a little one (the product of having much older brothers).
