We had a fun Christmas. We had good time with family, we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, Sarah Grace got the "pretend tools" that she had been hoping for and a Dora tent (plus plenty of other gifts from our generous extended family), and last but not least, WE GOT OUR TRAVEL APPROVAL!! We got the call today, the 27th. Our agency is closed for Christmas, but they had a few people in the office and they made the calls today. What a pleasant surprise. We didn't think we would hear news until they reopened next week.
It looks like we will leave either Jan 17 or Jan 24. Either way, we will meet our daughter in less than one month. It's finally happening. The suitcases have been just about packed for 2 months now so the days between now and departure shouldn't be too hectic (we hope!). I'm ready to go!
