Somewhere over the rainbow, is our daughter!

It still amazes me that a world away is a child, waiting for her family. Somewhere over the rainbow. The picture was taken the other day when we hit a record high of 65 degrees! In Ohio, that is amazing! It was a great day, and I took Mya for a walk. But today it is bitter cold and snowing. So I thought of this song and it is just a wonderful version, and it just sounds warm!

Nothing really new to report as far as the adoption. We went saturday to get our fingerprints done for our local background checks. That was painless. Unlike the time we went to Cleveland to the Federal Building to get our fingerprints done for the INS. If you haven't heard this story, it might put a grin on your face. But a frown on Chads!

It was June 30, 2006 and of course Chad was running late for our 12:30 appointment. So he had to go right from work and meet me there. He was in his painter's clothes, of course! We finally get to the Federal Building and we walk in with Marissa who was only 5 at the time, and my niece Allison. We walk up to the security and all the alarms go off! All these security giant men come running up to us and "corner" Chad and one of the giant guys says to Chad, "Sir our you working in the building"? He says no! They make him empty his pockets, he has every weapon known to man. Hook knives, razor blades, you name it, its in Chad's pockets! If any of you know how "conservative" well, shy my husband is, he was appalled!!! After minutes of explaining, we were free to go, but Chad had to leave all of his "weapons" outside!!! I think he will know better this time around!!!!

Hope all is well with everyone!!!!
