First Crush ****UPDATED****

Joseph found the above note on his desk today. It's folded in half because he shoved it in his book bag. The minute he got in my car, he exploded with the news that a certain someone left him a "love note". Okay, I heard from another mother the other day that a certain someone was "crushing" on J but for crying out loud - this is second grade. Does anyone think it has something to do with the fact that he brought his new red electric guitar to music class last week and played a song that he had written? My friend Nikki reminded me that I fell in love with a musician - but hey not this young!!!

Hope everyone is done Christmas shopping - I am!

FUTURE ROCK STAR

*****UPDATE - We have officially cleared the Review Room. For my family/friends -this is the last official step before our file goes into the matching room. So, for the past 18 days the review room workers at the CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs) have gone over the October LID files with a fine tooth comb. This is where the motto of "no news is good news" really is true. This means absolutely nothing in terms of the wait, but it is another step closer. The doubts that have been filling my mind the past month are still there - but I do feel a little more positive about it today. The next time a worker at the CCAA picks up our file it will be to match us with our daughter. Congratulations to all my fellow October LID pals.
