TA!

The GREAT news? Our TA (Travel Approval from China) was received by our agency this morning! The slightly (okay, more than slightly) annoying news? Ummm...the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou is closed from 1/23-1/28 for Spring Festival (a.k.a. Chinese New Year). So, our agency has the document that allows us to travel to China for Kennedy, but the office that our finalization appointment needs to be scheduled through is closed until next Thursday...which I believe could be the end of the day Wednesday here if I'm not mistaken...but in any event, means we will not have firm dates until Thursday, 1/29. BUT, our agency has requested--and seems confident that we'll get--Consulate appointments for 2/24, meaning we would be united with Kennedy (goosebumps) on or about 2/15 - 2/16ish...meaning we could be on a bird headed across the pond as soon as 2/10. Like, in 2.5 weeks. Yep, 2.5 weeks. HOLY MACKEREL!!!

As we say around here, BRING ON THE BABY. Whoooo hooo!

YAHOOOOO!!!!Look out China, here comes new parents ready to pick up their baby girl. The most precious one in the bunch.

I can't wait to be able to hold her, smell her, and check out her little toes and fingers. Most of all I can't to love her and hold her, and I can't wait to play with her. She will be loved alot.

I love the 3 of you very much.
