A little closer!

When your child is on the opposite side of the world they are not close. But there are things that bring you just a little closer-like skype! Last night we got to skype Ellinor and the wonderful people that are caring for her and we felt close. The Dunns were so generous with their time and are generous in love to our daughter and we are so grateful. Beyond words grateful, it's a heart thing.
Yesterday Holly took our case to court! The next step is to hear when our actual court date will be and we are so excited! We've known our daughter for 7 months and now things are happening!
We also got a call from the Orphan's Hope Grant people last night to ask if we'd like to be entered in a draw for funding. Yes we would!
We also got to learn so much about Ellinor; how big she is, how close she is to walking (I think before xmas!) and her first word! We got to hear a good belly laugh when she played peek a boo and see her in the super cute outfit we sent (you know the one with the boots? to a tropical country? haha!) We also learned how divinely we have been matched together.

Ellinor's first word is Lai lai which means 'come' in Mandarin. We're coming baby girl!
