Blessed!

Here's a few updated "silly" photos of Ella. Too cute! I cannot get enough of this little girl. It's amazing to think that she stole our hearts almost a year ago! We look forward to celebrating "Gotcha Day" on August 11th. I think we'll refer to it as "Family Day" or something along those lines.

OH and we decided on a name for our little man! We'll be naming him Bennett! His name on the Waiting Children list was Benjamin. Bennett means "blessed." We certainly feel blessed that we found him. :)

So we're still waiting on our Referral Acceptance from China. Our Family Coordinator told us that it could take 2-4 months to hear back from China. So depending on when we receive our RA, the earliest we could be traveling is in October (if we hear back from China in 2 months) or February at the latest. I am praying for somewhere in between. I know God's timing is perfect.. so everything will come together in the right timing. It certainly would be interesting to travel to China in the dead of winter! That would be a huge contrast to when we traveled last year (August!)
