Ya-Ya LIVE!

Here's a video we received of Ya-Ya! She couldn't be any cuter. At that age, Ila wasn't walking as well as she is. I will definitely have my hands full. Lately, Ila and I have been shopping for things to put in a care package to send to Ya-Ya. I am buying 2 of everything -- one to send and one to bring along so Ya-Ya will have those items when we travel to Taiwan to bring her home. Chances are we won't see the items again that we send there. So when Ila sees two of everything she is convinced of her original theory of getting a baby sister AND a baby brother. The brother, of course, she has named Punky. I think she also is starting to have some jealousy that the new baby sister is starting to have a pretty cool room with some great toys and books. I asked her if someday she would like to share a room with her sister. She replied, "No. But she can stay over sometime." If anyone has any recommendations for books on siblings and adoption, I'm definitely open to suggestions!

We are really stuck on the name game. For some reason, I can't commit to one. Ila has decided on one but we are still thinking about it. I thought girl names were supposed to be easy! In the mean time, I am completing our dossier documents, having everything notarized and hope to send them to Journeys next week or so. Next we will have some legal paperwork to complete and then we will wait for the court process to take place.

Happy New Year to you and your families!

Peace, Lani
