Happy New Year!


Happy Year of the Rat!

Today I drove all of our documents to the Secretary of State office for authentifications. Our dossier is now on it's way to our agency, who will then send it off to the Chinese Consolate, and then off to CHINA! This has been a wonderful way to celebrate Chinese New Year, our very last without Lucy!





Sweet Lucy,

Happy New Year! We love you more than you could possibly know, and cannot wait for the day we hold you in our arms. We are looking forward to many New Year celebrations with you.

Love,
Mommy

  3. Hey Dawn,

    Wouldn't it be cool if we traveled to China at the same time? You'd be going to Hunan province, we'd go to Jiangxi, but we could do Beijing together first, then meet up again in Guangzhou. What do you think?

    Congratulations again. Hope your Chinese Consulate is quick!
