I thought I would give a quick update on everything. Mandy and Knox are home and doing well. Her breathing is good they just need to keep her clear of any infections for the next several weeks. She weighed 6 lbs 2oz and 19 inches long. Carson is starting to like her new sister a little more each day. She had a great week with her MiMi while Mandy and Gable were down at Vanderbilt. She and MiMi shopped shopped and shopped. I still don't have any pictures of Knox yet, I hope to get some soon now that she is home.

I am back on the Weight Watcher train which is torture as I watch Ken eat a pizza as an appetizer before dinner. We will have to have our physicals updated this summer and I would like to weigh less than I did last summer. Ken doesn't seem to be concerned. If any one can give me some Weight Watcher tips that would be great. I have gotten addicted to Power Pops. They are suckers that have hoodia in them and they boost energy and curb your appetite www.PowerPops.com. If anyone would like to order some in the Bowling Green area email me svolkert@insightbb.com

There is nothing new on China :( Just please pray the referrals pick up some speed. Ken and I plan on going to The Bahamas this summer and hopefully Chicago so that should keep us busy. We always toy with the idea of going back to San Francisco in the fall.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Easter!! Hope everyone had a great Easter. We had lunch with family today and watched the girls go on an Easter egg hunt. I will post pictures later.

As far as adoption news I heard a rumor last night that is heart breaking. Referrals are on their way this week and the rumor is they only covered 2 days worth of log in dates. The past year they have been covering between 11 and 14 days per month when they should be covering 30 to 45 days. Only 2 days is horrible horrible horrible. The cut off last month was March 24th so this month will be just the 25th and 26th. They need to go ahead and at least finish the month of Oct. 2005. Hopefully it is just a rumor. I will let you know when I find out.

I counted my squares today and I am almost at 100. So if you are planning on sending one and haven't yet I would still love to get it.
