WOOHOO!!!! We finally got our confirmed CA and we are definitely leaving for China TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So on October 23, we will leave for China! We will arrive on the 24th! Our Consulate Appointment is on November 3 and we will come home on November 5! Praise God!!!!!! Here we come, Kate!!!We have to wait to hear from AWAA (tomorrow morning) before we can book our flights. We should also find out when gotcha day will be at that time. It all depends on if Kate will be able to stay at Philip Hayden or not. We are PRAYING that she will stay.
So... TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY, WE WILL BE ON OUR WAY TO CHINA!! I'm so excited :)
Thank you, Lord!
(The pictures above are of Kate playing "bumper cars" with her nanny and some of the House of Peace kiddos. They were taken yesterday so are very recent! What a great thing to wake up to, seeing our sweet girls precious SMILE!)

I am so excited!! I just talked to your mom today and she said you guys were anxiously CA. It's amazing how similar our adoption journeys are. Your Kate is from the same city as our Lydia. We also waited 2 weeks for our CA from the date we requested it. Kate is exactly one month younger than Lydia was when we adopted her, you travel one day later then we did back in 2005 so your Gotcha Day will be almost the same as ours and you will return the same day we did those three years ago. I'm getting excited for you just thinking about it!
Love the new pictures! What a beautiful smile!
I am so happy for you guys. I cannot believe that you will soon have Kate in your arms. Are you all going? Hope you will post from China!
Whooo hoo!
WOOOOOO HOOOOO! I am so glad, Emily! Yeah you are going to China.
Miss Kate is so beautiful. You'll be in China for the twins birthday!! Fun!!
I can't wait to see pictures of you in CHINA!! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs,
