Mommy, Daddy and me, what fun. Miceala is doing great. She is gaining weight, height and skills. She can crawl all over, pull herself up to everything, yacking a mile a minute, she feeds herself, not too well yet, but she is starting; she is starting to take a sippy cup; pull the cats hair and stand up in her crib. She is advancing a a startling pace this month. If she is not getting enough attention in a room, she starts to talk very loud. Micaela has started to walk independantly behind her airplane. She is a little clumsy, but she will get better. Height and weight to come on her 10 month birthday this Saturday. I cannot believe my baby is getting so big. She will only have two months until one year old. Her brother is in China and is 19 months old next month, soon we will be able to send a care package and get some new pictures.

This weekend we went to a friends house to see his solar panels and wind generator. We are thinking of installing something like that on our property. We will wait until we come back from China. Our LOI went out to China last Wednesday, Oct 3rd. We cannot wait until our dossier is done. We have everything together but the homestudy. We are waiting for a few things for that and we can send it in. Then the wait begins for China.
