New Photos 8-4-07
The below photos were taken May 17,2007
She is healthy, Praise God, and weighed a whopping 12lbs May 20th! She is close to her caregiver. She wakes up at 6am, takes a 1-2 hr. nap in the morning and afternoon and goes to bed at 7:30. (WOW! She's a sleeper! For some reason I'm guessing that this will change once she's with us. Just a hunch:o)) She eats 5-6 times a day, and likes Milk based formula, Rice cereal, Eggs, and Fruit! Her favorite activity is Playing outside and her favorite Toy is a cloth doll that makes music. 
We ARE able to send a care pkg to her! I am excited! We looked for a stuffed toy that plays soft music tonight - still looking! We have 2 cameras to send, in hopes they will begin taking photos of her between now and then. I will let you know what we send to her! I can hardly wait to send it!!Below Photo Received 8-3-07
Thanks be to God for His Indescribable gift.

Check back tomorrow. We will receive additional photos of
Mattie by FedEx and we will post all we know about her!
UPDATE: 8-4-07
FedEx came at 10am and we were able to FedEx back our acceptance signatures today! This means that we will travel as soon as possible...we are thrilled!
At 12:30 we were at our agency's Reunion! We got to meet Josh and Lily from CCAI there today! It was wonderful! Josh and Lily are incredible - just as we figured:o).
By 2:30 we were on the Road to my Grandpa's (Matties Great-Grandfather) 90th birthday party!
We can't wait to upload all the photos from the last 2 days. It has been incredible.
If we were to have sat down and written out how we would want the last 2 days to go, we couldn't have came up with anything this wonderful.
God is so good to us! To Him be ALL Glory, Honor and Praise.
