We hope you have all had a good summer and are enjoying the beginning of fall. Ours was jam-packed with family travel and events, both here and away. We're still waiting to hear word from Kazakhstan about being matched with baby #2 - we hope to have good news to share in a month or so.
We closed out the season with a wonderful visit to Cheekwood botanical gardens and their amazing Chihuly exhibit, featuring stunning, hand-blown glass sculptures on display throughout the botanical gardens and mansion. The exhibit runs through October - if you get a chance to see this, don't miss it - we've never seen anything like it. Here's a slideshow from our day there - as you can see, Lily Grace is growing fast! -- Steve and Tonya

Wow! Lily Grace really has grown! Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos with us. Cheekwood looks cool. Love to all three of you.
Hey Guys! Tonya, my computer crashed and I lost all of my emails and contact info!!!! SHoot me an email so we can chat....
Quick update on our adoption. We choose to go China Special Needs and applied for a child with a heart condition much like what Mc had as a baby. We have submitted our I-800A to immigration and are waiting for it to come back so we can complete our dossier. The Social Worker that did our home study expects us to travel next summer!
How are you guys doing?
I can't even believe how much Lily Grace has grown! And I'm so glad to hear that you made the cutoff for the last of the Kaz adoptions (at least as the program stands today). Please let me know where you end up and if we can help in any way! We're so very excited for your family.
Please send me your new email when you have a chance Tonya. I have some brand new photos of the girls to share. The only address I have is your old work email. Thanks.
Melanie Hill
