Finally a post

Filed Under Isabelle, Morgan | Leave a Comment

Well it’s much later, sorry. We have gotten along a lot further than I had thought. I reordered more of my birth certificates Wednesday. Monday Becky & I had our Physical for the adoption. Get this, Becky and I had to give a blood sample and yet Morgan gets a popsicle from the nurses. Morgan was just there to make sure that Becky and I were OK and she gets a popsicle, Lucky Kid. Over the 4th I finally pulled the financial information together. Becky and I were once again surprised to see that Wow we really do have a little bit of money, it sure doesn’t seem like it. Hopefully we’ll get our act together and finish the GWCA (Great Wall China Adoption) application an get it in the mail this weekend. While there’s not the panicked fury and necessity to get everything to China like before there is and excitement and still a mystery as to when will we go and what will the child look and act like. Did I make that sound like we weren’t excited? Well we are EXTREMELY excited to go back to China, get another child and expand our family. Even Morgan when we ask her if she is ready for a Mei Mei says yes (hope she knows what she’s agreeing to). Oooo, Morgan can now say her name as well as other things such as “Yellow” and she usually talks in phrases. Our favorite verbal game we play is “I got it”. In “I got it” it doesn’t matter who has it you just need to understand that Morgan has it weather she does or not. Our friends said that it will be like a light switch and yesterday Morgan and I actually had a decent conversation about her day at DayCare, I just Love that. On the 4th we had both grandparents over (Morgan and all her people). During nap I took the time to be very frank and honest about the trip with my Mom. My Mom wants to go with us to China. I hope she goes but we wanted to let her know what she was in for (it ain’t like here). Fortunately she already seemed to have a realistic idea of what she was getting into. I can’t wait to go. Oh, my parents found out that Dad (me) burping is really funny to Morgan. In a phone call after our get together on the 4th my parents said that they had never seen Morgan have such a belly laugh and they thought that was great. That’s the curse of being the fun parent.
