For most of you who received our "Grand Opening" email, we know this is the first time you are seeing this blog. We apologize for the delay, but time goes by so fast these days. We only have two other posts, so there is not much to catch up on.

Today we got really great news that puts us one step closer to bringing our child(ren) home from Colombia. Our dossier was submitted to ICBF (aka the Colombian welfare system) on May 11, 2007. This means that it took approximately two weeks to translate. That is much quicker than the estimated 4-6 weeks. So, praise be to God, who is the only one who can expedite this whole process. And, we are ready for it to be expedited in whatever way possible!

On a side note, Preston, our goldfish, also turned 7 on May 11 for those of you who are keeping tabs on the "energizer" fish--and, yes, his water is so filthy, you can hardly see him except when he surfaces at feeding time.

More updates as we get them!

Okay, so while not the grand opening promised in our last post, this is still part of of our desire to let folks know about our blog.

Please check out the last post which has all of the general info about our adoption (yes, adoption, see below for all the glorious details) process. Please feel free to add your comments. More...much more...to follow.

Much love,
Andrea and Troy
