Our "Article 5" was picked up Thursday and delivered to the CCAA (Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs). I am not *exactly* sure what the Article 5 is, but what I do know is that we are almost done waiting. Only travel approval from the CCAA is left and we should receive it in a few weeks! Then we can go to China!
Time to start making lists and getting things checked off!

Approximately 8-11 weeks...
...until we go to China! Oh my gosh! I can not believe I am going to China!
We got an update on our girl last week with new pictures and some information. Here is some of it.
"She enjoys being in the class and playing games with other children. She likes reading, drawing, singing and dancing. She is a lovely little girl."

Lions Club + Show Hope
Bought a raffle ticket from the local Lions Club for $2.
Purchased a Show Hope t-shirt to help this family with their adoption funds.
Most of my funds for donating right now are going in to a fund to purchase baby gifts for three pregnant women at work. The gifts will be from all of us at work, not just from me, and all are needed. In addition to helping these moms, I get to go shopping for baby items, which is always fun! I am hoping we will have enough funds to get them something really nice that they need.

Another Birthday
And today would be our baby girl's birthday.
I wonder if she even knows it. That it's her birthday and she is 6.
We are going to celebrate here, on Monday. Today was Colton's birthday party at the park.
It was chilly, but as Colton said, God stopped the rain for him so we could put up his trampoline and have his party. :)
Next year, we will be able to celebrate *with* our girl.

Six!
Our baby boy is 6 today.
The last six years have been filled with a little more sunshine than we had before.
And they have just flown by.
We love you Colton!

Day 26!
Today it has been 26 days since our dossier was logged in.
Today we received our Letter Seeking Confirmation (LSC)/Letter of Approval (LOA) from China!
We were not expecting it this soon. Twenty-six days is a really short time. At first, when I got the call from our caseworker, I thought something was wrong. I could not believe when she said she had received our approval.
The kids and I decided to go out for Chinese food to celebrate. (We brought Tim lots of leftovers.)
Time to get busy on our I-800 paperwork and our care package.

Drawn From Water
Today's charity. I bought a t-shirt. I would have donated more, but they did not have a link to donate via my preferred method.
