Time to start posting again. Not only because you all need to see how miss Emma LuMai is growing and changing, but also because I have started on the process to adopt #2!! It came sooner than I had planned, but I feel it is wonderful and is the right thing. I was expecting to start later next year, but one of the agencies I was considering working with called me and told me that it looked very likely that China would be changing its policies and not accept applications from singles beginning in January 2007...so they said if I wanted to do it, then I better hurry up and get my paperwork in before December. So that is what I am doing. It actually has gone pretty smoothly and I am already practically done. I am just waiting for the Dept. of Homeland Security to issue my approval (it is known as an I-171) and I can send my stuff up to my ageny and then off to China...I expect it to be done by early to mid-November. Cool huh.
Mom and Emma at home, having some breakfast. See the pretty flower arrangement on the table, done by Grandpa! Emma just gets bigger, faster, and smarter everyday. It is a joy to see her growing up! I am so proud of her!
Grandpa and Grandma Broberg came to California to visit for a whole week. It was so fun! 
Emma with her cousin Dane. She really loves being with her family. This picture was taken when we were in Pocatello one more time for my dear grandma Broberg's funeral. What a wonderful woman she was and I am so glad that Emma had a chance to meet her great-grandmother a couple of times.
