2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing

The Olympics officially started on August 8th, 2008 (8/08/08). In case some of you didn't know the number 8 is a very lucky number in the Chinese culture. The opening show for the 2008 Olympics was nothing short of spectacular. I unfortunately didn't get to see all of it but the parts I did catch were amazing!! I am not crazy about the Winter Olympics but I love the Summer Olympics!! The Gymnastics, Diving, Swimming, Track, Trampolene etc..

There have been rumors that perhaps the Olympics could be the blame for the slow down in referrals this year? I don't know if I believe this rumor or not - although I would love if it were true? The organization of this event has been massive, the dancers, choreographers, security, construction workers etc etc etc.... so a part of me likes to believe (hope) that things do pick up a little after all of this is over! Here are some beautiful images of the event.

23 month LID anniversary!

Well I am about 2 weeks late posting this but better late than never. It was officially 23 months since out LID on July 29th, 2008. It is sad to think that we should have already been home with our little girl - but now we are still waiting and we will be waiting for approx. 3 more years. There really isn't much else to say other than I pray to God that somehow things speed up!!!
