YIPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!

WE ARE.........

LOA!!

The longest wait of the process is over!  We received news of our letter of acceptance from China today.  It is dated 8-9-11.  Our names and his name on the same official document!!! 
The news came as I was in his room preparing it for the big transformation.  The room is underway, the LOA is here, tomorrow the NVC (National Visa Center)...there will be a sweet little Asian face calling me "mom" before we know it!! 
Here's a Godwink: LOA is 8-9-11.  8-9-05 is the date that started a miracle walk for our family with our oldest son. Hmmm.......

Getting Presents!

A sweet family adopting one of Kell's pals is taking a care package to him.  Hopefully, the "old friends" can get together now and again on this side of the world.

Sweet Henry did some translating for us, AGAIN.  We've given that language a shot and, well, we've decided that Kell will be meeting regularly with Henry just to chat it up in Mandarin.  I don't want him to lose the language.  Hoping to find a way to keep it up locally.  We live NOT close to Atlanta's Chinatown where there are Chinese schools. 

I mean, look at that! 
We are just not that smart able to attend mandarin classes at this time!
