Talking A little hello!

Hi all,

I'd just like to drop a little word to tell you that I don't forget you but I just don't have any time to get online right now. We moved in our house and there is still a lot to do but I surely look forward to the time were I can look daily at the forum.

To those who know us: Elias will turn 11 months tomorrow (!!!). He's doing greatly and getting adjusted to the new house. He's into everything, so I can't take my eyes off of him, he does all he shouldn't. He's a bright, fast and smart little guy. He's starting to getting in trouble too, he tries to get away with everything with a huge smile . Loris is doing great too, so glad to have a big room and a house were he can run, sing, yell, jump... We finally had some jealousy issues but really nothing bad, I'm actually "glad" that this came because all was too perfect before. Now I know all is "normal".

I surely still think about all of you that were in process at the same time we were and wish the very best to the ones in process now. I'll try to post a picture as soon as I get the time to take one.

This forum is really a great place with great people!!!

Hola Manuela!

It's great to hear from you! I've been wondering about how you have been doing and have surely missed your incredibly supportive posts to everyone!

Glad to hear that things are getting back to "normal "

Keep in touch!

Hi, Manuela...

I'm glad to see you posting again! We missed you! I'm glad the boys are doing so well and enjoying your new home... I can't believe Elias is already turning 11 months... Is he walking yet? I'm dying to see a new picture of him!

I'm afraid that the way things are going, that we won't be getting Luke home until he's Elias's age.... We finally got our 171-H, but I don't know if "our" attorney will be applying for DNA authorization and submitting it until after the office comes back from vacation.. I should have it in the mail tomorrow and he told me to fax it to him immediately, so I hope that means he plans to use it soon. Tell me again, how fast did your case go? I know he is supposed to be very quick, but I guess I just don't have enough patience... Luke is getting so big, and I am so anxious to get this thing over with....

Well, thanks for posting! Take care and can't wait to see new pics of Loren and Elias! Tell Elias "happy 11 month old birthday"!!!

Take care,

Judy

So glad to hear from you Manuela, I'd love to see some pictures of Elias Miguel is almost 8 months and I cannot imagine our lives without him, you were such a support for us during our adoption. I'm so glad you stopped in to say hi

Hi Manuela!

It is so great to hear from you. I love to get updates about Elias and Loris. I didn't know you were moving to a new house... How cool!

Post some pictures when you catch your breath

Take Care,

Jen
