Adoption Update:
This month, the CCAA completed the matching process for families with dossiers registered through January 20, 2006. Great Wall Beijing has confirmed that the CCAA has completed the review of dossiers registered through January 31, 2007.
More pictures of our trip to NY:
Second Day of trip: We rode the red double Decker bus tour around the Downtown Loop. Part of the tour went by Ground Zero. We were told that when 911 occurred there were many memorials around the city. However, this is one of the only ones left. Apparently the painted tile store no longer exists but the memorial was left untouched.
Ground Zero is still really only a construction site. We over heard a local NY'er telling some tourists that many people come down to visit the site and are shocked to find there is no official true memorial marking the site. However, we were told there was a building in front of the construction site housing a memorial of pictures, etc.
On our second day we also visited: Greenwich Village "The Village", China Town, Little Italy, Times Square, Central Park, SOHO... it was a long tiring day~ we saw quite a bit in 8 hours!
Julia in Central Park- most places we walked hid the skyline- the only thing indicating NY city was near was the sound of the cars honking! Matt GEO Caching in Central Park

We have returned from our FABULOUS visit to The Big Apple! Thank you Elaine and Mario for being such wonderful Hosts! Matt and I were exhausted from all the site seeing in Manhattan. Here are a few pictures of our trip...
Day one: we spent the morning on The Circle Line Cruise- enjoying the 3 hour cruise around Manhattan. Most of the sites were with in the first hour and a half. Here is Lady Liberty, one of our favorites...
It was a bit windy and we both got a little sun! Here we are near the end of the cruise with the NW side of Manhattan behind us. Matt's Pink Floyd shirt appears to have come alive!!
The Lions outside of the NY Public Library.
The Lions were named by the Mayor:
Lion Fortitude & Matt 
Lion Patience & Julia
Finally, On our Third day we were on a subway headed toward SOHO and we were stoped by Jack Nicholson who welcomed us to New York and asked where we were visiting from! Okay, so we know this picture is not actually Jack in the flesh, but rather a poster outside of the movie rentals. But, we HAD to take a pic to remeber Jack and how nice he was to us!
We will post more pictures of our trip over the next few days. Hope y'all are all doing well! TTYS
