Our Beautiful Daughter Laine Elliott

august 27,2006. Hi this Tim, my 1st entry into the blog is the most exciting one; "WE RECEIVED A REFERRAL". On 8/24 thursday night at 635pm beth called from Holt international and congratulated us on our new baby girl, Gao Shao Hui, she was born on september 20th 2005 and at 4 months she was 25 inchs in length and 13.0 lbs. We are very excited about her and can not wait to go to china and bring her home! When I received the call I could hardly catch my breath. After I hung up with Beth, I called Annette (she was on her way up to a tupperware party with some of the coffee club girls waiting for a referral too) She was so excited she just started to cry and couldn't speak. On Saturday August 26 at 11:10 am we received the package from Holt with our daughters stats. and most importantly her photo. Logan was very exciting to see his new baby sister and asked "is she coming home today?";needless to say Saturday was a very busy day, telling everyone, emailing the photo to family and friends. Now the real fun starts, visa's, travel dates, and how to get to and from the airport! LOL.

Little Darin

Our friends, Miriam & Lee who adopted Darin last year, spent the day with us at Whale Beach. It was Darin's very first day EVER at the shore. Looks like he enjoyed himself!
