Photo Pages Approved!

Troy did an excellent job putting together our photo pages. Big thanks to our friend John for his layout and publishing help. These are the photo pages that will go with our package to Taiwan. They will be the first thing our Judge sees.

I'm so happy so many of you will be with us. Take a look at some of the photos below along with the captions. Keep in mind the captions had to be short & sweet to avoid confusion in translation to Mandarin. These 2 pages are in addition to the 1st page, which is a formal couple portrait and the 4th page, which has pictures of our house and yard.

We had to have 4 photos representing us:



Troy and Tammy - Best Friends

Troy and Tammy - Softball Champs








Tammy at Crabfest
Troy in Pacific Northwest











We had to have 4-5 photos representing us and family:

Row 1 (Bleeker family getting ready to eat, Hellenthal family getting ready to eat)


Row 2 (Tammy and Mom celebrate brother Mark's college graduation,
Tammy enjoys sunset with sisters-in-law & niece, and Troy plays dominos
with his brothers and Father)



With the approval, Troy got them printed and in the mail. The only thing between us and the waiting list now are the approved homestudy (which is in process) and our passports (which should be enroute). We're getting there!

Yay!!! for getting the photo pages done. It was such a relief when we got ours done. It won't be long 'til you're on the waiting list and closer to your baby. Congratulations, it's exciting isn't it?

Thanks, Ann. Yes, it seems we're making some good progress and I'm feeling like we're just weeks away from the waiting list.
