WE ARE.....

AND WE ARE......

YAY!  Our dossier went to China on June 8.  Our log in date is June 27.  We are now about to wrap up week 4 of the wait for our LOA.  While we're being patient, we're also praying that that our LOA comes...yesterday!  The closer it gets, the more excited we all become!  Burke and Mills have been setting goals for helping Kell learn our language, numbers, etc.   Everything else is a competition, so why not this?  I'm hoping they will challenge each other....who can teach Kell more first!  That would be way more productive than the usual "who can burp the longest" and today's "who can hit the other with the most acorns in 15 seconds".  The good thing is, they can easily entertain themselves during our 2 hour waits for ballgames to start!  Hey, how about reading a book, guys?

As you can tell from the pictures, we are at the beach this week...for baseball, of course!  Is there any vacation that doesn't involve a ballfield?  Not that I know about!  I love every minute of these baseball days.  Sadly, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for Jack's traveling baseball days....I don't want to go to the light!!  He'll be a senior this year.  I can't believe how quickly the years go (tear, sniff).

We are anxiously awaiting and are so thankful for our little "Asian Sensation"!  He's a rock star at our house, just as he deserves to be!  Hope his family is everything he dreams we will be!  He certainly couldn't be any more wanted and loved...that's for sure!

Let the receiving begin....SOON!!!
