http://journeytobabyaustin.blogspot.com/2013/03/what-surprise.html
Journey To Baby Austin. Follow along as our family of three waits to become a family of four. Monday, March 11, 2013. When I saw I missed a call from Holt this afternoon I thought perhaps they were looking for all of the paperwork that I was planning on going throught this past weekend. Turns out Holt was calling to tell me that they received our LOA! I could not believe how fast that arrived! Holt commented on how quick it arrived too. I can not believe it! We may be in China in the middle of summer!

Journey To Baby Austin. Follow along as our family of three waits to become a family of four. Sunday, October 21, 2012. I do know that every step was so worth it. A year from now, I will probably have forgotten how frustrated I was when I received the call that our document was rejected. Maybe. Maybe not. But a year from now, maybe we will be preparing to travel to bring Linh's little sister home. Or maybe Linh's little sister will already be home.

Journey To Baby Austin. Follow along as our family of three waits to become a family of four. Saturday, June 27, 2009. Has it really been 3 months? It seems like yesterday that we stepped thru the doors at Metro airport carrying our very exhausted little girl. Yet Thursday marked 3 months home. During this time Linh has become very comfortable in her home and even more comfortable with us. It seems as though she has always been here. She is such a happy and fun little girl.

Day 2 in Beijing also included lots of walking in 95 degree temperatures, but way less stairs. We went to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Both were impressive and both were super crowded.

Wise Family: February 2010
http://phowises.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 8, 2010. President's Day Tournament/Week 2 of Dance. After class Diane offered to make copies of the songs for me that they sing and move to in class for me to do with her at home. Here's how that conversation went:. Diane: I could make copies of the songs for you. Me: Do I have to do this at home? Is this like a Suzuki dance class? Diane: No, but I'll give you a sticker if you do. It might make her more willing to participate. How's that for a slacker mom response? Nanna said she spent ...

Wise Family: Road Trip: Days 2-4
http://phowises.blogspot.com/2011/08/road-trip-days-2-4.html
Friday, August 5, 2011. Road Trip: Days 2-4. The boys have done really well on this trip so far. They haven't really even watched that many movies on the DVD player. They find other ways to amuse themselves in the car. For example: building forts in the back of the van and using coffee cup holders to make hats for the dog. We stopped in Watson Lake to see the Sign Post Forest. Our only regret was not bringing our own sign to nail to a post. Proponent of socialized medicine. Antler Beer, eh? Hey Matt (& f...

Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Chris' birthday was on May 20th. Grandma and Nanna came over for a family party that night and we gave him our gifts. Two days later we brought two of his friends with us to Nikiski Pool and water slide. Then we we went to Cold Stone for ice cream. Below are the photos of Chris hamming it up in all of his glory. The first PG-13 movie I let the boys see was Avatar. When the Home Tree was being bombed and all the Navi were running for their lives he said to me "This is really sad!

Tuesday, January 4, 2011. Maya turned five on January 2nd. It was a nice way to wrap up a very busy and fun New Year celebration. Her Aunt Kathleen came down from Fairbanks. Her Aunt Kristin came from Palmer. Uncle Michael and Aunt Karyn came from Anchorage with Cousin Boo. Uncle Michael brought fireworks and she stayed up past midnight to watch the fireworks show! We ate lots of yummy food and opened more presents so it was like Christmas and New Year all rolled in one. I love my Dora and Diego cake!

Wise Family: September 2010
http://phowises.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 5, 2010. What the Wises Did This Summer, Part 2. While Maya and I were in California, Matt and the boys went to Pendleton, OR to visit Poppop and Jean. They did a lot of things there and maybe one of these days Matt will write the blog entry. But I will just give you the highlights in 4 pictures:. They got to drive Poppop's tractor. They rode around in Poppop's gator. The day after they left, Sweetness gave birth to Sugar! Look at those ears! How cute is that? In Berkeley with her family.
