Ma Fang Zhou

Hello!

There is a little boy in the Sichuan Province of China who we hope to add to our family in less than a year. His name is Ma Fang Zhou and he is 5 years old and will be 6 on April 27th. He is alittle older than we previously thought we would adopt but he will fit nicely into our family. I wish I could share pictures with you now but until we receive Pre-Approval from China we are not allowed. That of course only makes sense. He has a minor heart defect and a couple of other issues but is generally healthy. Ma means horse and is his surname because he was enrolled in the orphanage in 2002. Fang Zhou as far as I can tell means 2 ships.

So we are busy collecting documents and writing our Letter of Intent so we can move forward with the rest of the paperwork. Our Yard Sale is Saturday October 7th and we have been overwhelmed with generous donations of stuff to sell at it.

Wayne's pen business is taking off as well. He is so creative and is making about a pen a day and selling them just as fast. Oh and our coffee, we will be selling whole bean French Roast coffee by the 1/2 lb and lb. at the yardsale and will be taking orders for more if anyone is interested.

So we're off...I can't wait till we get the paperwork done, I really don't prefer it at all but will suffer through it because our little guy is sooo worth it.

God Bless,
M
