A little questionable news but a whole bunch of good pictures!

That's my girl!

She has perfect little feet for pretty little shoes!

Today we received a very unexpected surprise- new photo's of Mattine. She is beautiful and growing so fast! You can really see changes from CFC (Child for Consideration) photo we received almost a month ago. She looks very healthy and well-cared for which is an immense relief to us. Last night the internet went down (imagine that?) and I was absolutely frantic with thoughts that we would get pictures and not even know it. Receiving a new batch of pictures was just wishful thinking, but you never know? And sure enough, there was a wonderful surprise waiting for me today after work. Back to the internet, my husband can fix just about anything and sure enough he did his magical unplug and restart about a gillion times and I think he wiggled something too but regardless we had internet again. He is a true miracle worker because the cable company couldn't make it until Monday night- totally not acceptable for a blog junkie like myself. Oh, so back to the photo's. She is so sweet with chubby little cheeks that make your mouth water wanting to steal a nibble. Still no news on travel and that is where the possible bad news may come in. We may have a slight delay in travel. We will know more next week. Please send positive vibes our way as well as to the other waiting families and especially to any family who is "in" country currently finalizing their adoption.
