After four days, we are settled in our new home, sort of. We have unpacked all of the boxes and need to hang pictures, photos, etc. That's it. Then we're done! So far, we love the house. As soon as the rooms are set, we'll take photos and upload them onto the blog.
====================
Our hearts go out to the Sheldon family. If you haven't heard, Sandi and Dennis went to China to meet their daughter, Hannah, and bring her home. While in China, Dennis passed away due to diabetes. It just so happens that we know the Sheldons as they are/were part of the waiting families group here in Lansing. For more on the story, click here.
====================
The latest round of matches took us through December 8, 2005. Our LID is April 24, 2006. Eight days is the most we've seen since March 5, 2007. So, hopefully, we'll see an increase in referrals over the next few months.
On the not-so-encouraging news, our adoption agency, Lifelink, met with CCAA directors and they said that China has opened up the purse strings on the one-child policy in the rural areas. Which means there are fewer children that are abandoned. They also said there is an increase in domestic adoptions within China. The China officials did not indicate there would be a speed up any time soon.

Sparty on...
We officially closed on our Rockford, IL property at 10:30 a.m. Friday, November 2.
WOO HOO!
Jenn permanently joined me in Lansing as of 11 p.m. that evening.
On Saturday we went to the MSU vs. UM game at Spartan Stadium. We tailgated beginning at 11 a.m. and the game started at 3:30 p.m. It was a good time. We had pretty good seats, 13 rows from the field on the MSU end zone. Even though the Spartans lost, it was a pretty cool experience. Check out the photo gallery on greenandwhite.com.
Today we spent the day shopping for furniture for our new house... to no avail. We close in 10 days. We can't wait to get out of our apartment. The Cooley Law students screaming in the hallway at 2 a.m. is getting old! Or are we getting old?
That's it from Michigan. The weather is brisk but beautiful.
