Kristiana Hope Zhouzhou Witt - "Tia"

We are so thrilled to announce the referral of our baby girl! Yes! She was born July 15, 2006 in YiWu China - Zhejiang province (near Taiwan). She has a heart condition called VSD and she was scheduled to have surgery in June (we don't know for sure if she has had the surgery)

Her papers say "she is quiet and reasonable. She will not stop smiling when others approach her and amuse her. Because of her congenital heart problem, she catches cold easily. She is most intimate with her caretaker who feeds her. Her biggest wish is to be held often."

We are guessing we will travel in January or February to bring her home, we will update when we know more. That is just about all we know at this time - We think she is just the most beautiful little China Doll!

The boys - matching.

Elijah adores his big brother - occasionally the feeling is reciprocated :) When Elijah saw Jonah wearing his flannel pajama bottoms with no shirt, he just had to copy. I love this picture!

Highlights of Grandma and Grandpa Froggy's visit

Mom and Dad visited for two weeks in late June and early July, 2007 - we had not seen each other for almost 16 months and it was great to see them again. Despite the arduous flight, the stepped off the plane and were excited to see their grandkids and the sights of Sydney. The two weeks went way too fast and there were a lot of tears at the airport. We had a great time.

Fathers Day no Elijah.

Father's Day

Matt was spoiled by the kids with a new Cappucinno Maker and some wonderful cards. Elijah was having a meltdown so wasn't in the first photos!
