Just to answer Jocelyn's question regarding publishing my blog.... I was very happy with Blog2print.com . They give plenty of options regarding book design; the font and page set-up were very professional; and you can choose whether to include all your posts, comments, dates, etc. The book is bound quite sturdily in a nice hardback cover. You can also just buy a CD-ROM of the blog as well, if you prefer, and print it out on your own paper.
Here are some photos of my book. The total cost of this book (about 160 pages, hardcover), was about $63 when I ordered it during a special discount offer. The regular price would have been about $74. Shipping was free. Printing and delivery took about two weeks.
I am very happy with the printed book, and plan to do the same thing for my other two kids' adoption trips once I get my journaled work into blog form. Since their books will only cover the weeks leading up to the trip to China and a little of the weeks following our return home, the books will be much shorter than Katie Mei's, and therefore cost me quite a bit less.
Another site that I've heard good things about is picaboo.com . I believe prices are similar.

I soooo want to do this...I have tried just setting it up and seeing what it looks like onscreen and it's so cool. Nice to see one printed! LOVE IT!
What a precious gift to Katie Mei--soooo sweet. I'd find myself thumbing the pages a lot if I were you. What a book of miracles it is!
Thanks for posting this, Petrie!
