I haven't gotten much done to her room yet, but I've gotten these things for her room. The bedding is from the Ashley Collection at Pottery Barn Kids. I actually ordered the window covering in "apple green". It's from the Company Store.

Anniversary

Today is the 1 year anniversary of my LID, so my daughter is very much on my mind today. For those of you not so familiar with adoption language, my LID is the date the Chinese government officially recognized that they had my paperwork. When I started this process, the time from LID to referral was 6-7 months. Right now, the wait is more like 17 months and may very well lengthen before I get my referral. I'm planning for a fall/winter referral and then Jill and I will travel to China to pick up my little girl 6-8 weeks after that. I know in my mind that God's timing is perfect, but a year and a half is a very long time to be expecting a child:)
So keep us in your prayers - pray that I may be patient and remember that God is in control and that His timing is perfect. Pray that my daughter is safe and warm, has plenty of food to eat, a comfortable place to sleep and play, and people who love her to care for her until she comes home.
