Contest

Lando

So today we officially received our 13th set of waitlist numbers for you. This Saturday (the 16th) marks the one year date of sending in our dossier and next Saturday (the 23rd) will mark one year on the waitlist. On July 23, 2010 I had been working at the church's attic sale and when I got home noticed that the light was blinking on the machine. T had left a message saying I needed to call her and I was pretty sure there was a small error on our dossier. I had grabbed one of the copies as I sat down on the steps going into the sunroom as I called her back. As she picked up the phone, your Dad got home from work and together we heard our first set of numbers.

We have moved so far since those first numbers of Girl 79, Boy 47, Siblings 49. Granted we are not where we thought we would be at this point, but you are out there and are meant for us. B emailed us this afternoon with the "lucky" 13th set of numbers. We are now officially Girl 14, Boy 6, and Siblings 6. (Our first set of official numbers in the single digits!!!!!) This means we have moved 65 spots on the Girl list, 41 spots on the Boy list, and 43 spots on the Siblings list! That is a lot of movement little Lando. Next Saturday your Dad and I are celebrating a year on the waitlist by going up to Chi-Town and eating at one of the Ethiopian restaurants. (Maybe we will get to celebrate your referral instead. A girl can pray and wish.)

  So your contest Lando. . .

Although our official waitlist numbers for you are, Girl 14, Boy 6, and Siblings 6, we know we are lower. I am pretty sure we are unofficially 4 on the boy list and I am not sure about the other two lists. Over the 12 months, we have averaged 5.417 movement spots on the girl list, 3.417 movement spots on the boy list, and 3.583 movement spots on the siblings list. (Your Dad thinks that is too much math.) So Lando's contest is when do we first get to see Lando's picture? Will it be a Landa, Lando, Lando/Lando, or Landa/Landa? (If we get siblings, they would be the same gender.) So in the comment section below guess Lando's gender, single or sibling set, date of referral, and time of referral. (You probably will also need to leave your email, just in case you win.) The person closest to Lando's actual referral not only gets the pride of knowing they won, but also cake pops. (I don't guarantee they will get done that first week or how well they ship.) Mom, you can only give one guess, you can't guess everyday between now and Christmas.  

!!!As of 10:06 pm on Thursday, I think we are now unofficially 13 girl, 3? boy, and 5 siblings!!!
