WOOHOO!!!

China has granted our travel approval! We are super excited!!!! We received them at our travel meeting in Massachusetts this week! Yay! Next step is getting our travel dates...our agency is working on scheduling our appointments in China which will determine our travel dates. We should have that in about a week, we hope!

We are having a great time in Massachusetts! We visited with our friends Joy, Mark, & Tyler last night in Wrentham and today we're hanging out with my cousin Sara & John. We're going to do some sightseeing today and then see UP! What a fun day we will be having today! We return home tomorrow.

Update

Sorry we haven't posted anything in so long but really what could we possibly have said that would be better than looking at those beautiful pictures of our little princess!!!

For the past three weeks we were in a holding pattern due to the H1N1 flu but thankfully it didn't turn out to be any worse than a normal flu and we believe China has begun moving forward again. We were so thrilled this week to see all the posts from families who just got to see their baby's face for the first time. We felt so sad for all those soon-to-be parents that knew they were next last month but that call just wouldn't come. Well, it came this week!

This week also brought great news from our agency. We recieved word yesterday that our travel approval has been issued and it will be sent to our agency in the next few days!

Next week we're traveling to MA for our pre-travel meeting. We'll get to meet all the other families in our group. We're also super excited to be staying with our cousins Sara & Grupo. They live near Salem and it's such a fun little town. We got to visit it last October and we're so excited to be going back. More airplane practice is always a good thing too! That China trip is going to be a "little" longer than I'm used to!

Well, before you know it we'll be posting what our travel dates are and then we'll be posting from China!! I can't wait!

Thanks to EVERYONE for all the support, good wishes, wonderful baby gifts, care, and concern. We couldn't have made it this far without all of you and we're relying on your positive thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks as we prepare to meet our daughter in person. Thank you!
