Update (finally!)

Well, since I've not blogged on here for quite some time, I thought I'd give a little update.

1. Today I faxed a special needs assessment and checklist to our adoption agency... We've been logged in to China's adoption system since March 7th, 2006, and now Amy and I are opening up the option of adopting a child with special needs. This could be anything from a cleft palate to minor heart conditions to skin conditions (and a number of other minor special needs). When you think of it, pray for us.

2. NCAA: I picked Kansas to win it all.

3. Hawaii. The last two weeks of January my family joined Amy's mom, brother and sister-in-law for a trip to Hawaii. So nice. I seriously wish I could live there. I thought I might share a few pictures with you. Enjoy!
