After much deliberation and thought, we have given our baby her new name! Also, we got two new pictures of her, thanks to Ann, of Red Thread China. (Not sure about the usefulness of that first shot... but we'll take what we can get!) She is sending Hallie Ann a "lovie" and a soft photo book with some pictures of herself and of us. Hopefully she can become a little bit familiar with our faces before we arrive. We are waiting on LOA now (letter of acceptance). From there, it will probably be about 6 weeks or so until we travel (my guess-- could be longer, we'll see).
