Asian food trials

Here are the foods the kids picked to try out from the Asian market. I would say we had less than a 50% hit rate. Pork buns ( surprisingly good!) peach soda, plantains, cilantro and sugar crackers were all very good. Coconut soda, chicken buns, ham & cheese crackers ( yes they were as bad as they sound) and tea cookies (soap like texture and taste?) not so much. All the cookies we tried weren't too bad either. The ramen style noodles are a little different than "american" ones too - comes with an oil seasoning pack and sort of a funky flavor.   Still waiting to try the dumplings...

Family pictures

I though I would post some of our family pictures that we have been taking for our dossier.

We borrowed our canine "nephew" from next door

May update

Home visits are complete! Actually the visits were pretty painless (we did have to move our "ammo" away from our bb gun though ;) however our social worker was very nice. It was great motivation to keep the house picked up for 3 whole weeks. We are waiting to have our home study written up and hopefully it should be complete by next week. Our next thing is - immigration approval to be able to adopt a child from China. We have heard that it can take 30 - 90 days to get approval. Once we have that document, we can finish having all our documents sealed (at the county, state, federal and Chinese consulate levels) and THEN it all can go to China.
