I received an email overnight that said our Article 5 has been completed and now our agency representative can deliver it to the CCCWA who will then issue our TA (Travel Approval) to come get our son!
Yippee!

Learning New Things
OK, so I'm learning new things about "graphic design." I thought it was time to change our header but I didn't want a HUGE picture. So over the course of a couple of days, I have kind of figured out how to work with layers in my paint program. (Dee, I still don't like layers!)
The picture of Le An was taken on Dec. 7 by people from the Yahoo Group I belong to who were there to bring their daughter home and they visited the orphanage. They got 5 pictures of Le An and this one had him smiling! He's also standing up, so he's making progress!
We are still waiting for our Article 5 to be dropped off and then we will wait for TA. Even if Article 5 happens by Christmas, we still won't travel until February because it is 3-5 weeks from TA to travel.
Here's all five pictures:

NVC Letter!
We received our NVC letter (stands for National Visa Center) yesterday. I will scan it and email it to Holt tomorrow. They will then send that and the scan of the PA to China. Just one more step along the way to our son!
On a holiday note, we got Meighan's 4th birthday picture(s) taken today. She is so photogenic that it is soooo hard to pick out just one shot -- so we got 5. Everyone will get the one main shot but we have 4 others to hang/set at our house!
She will have a short rehearsal for the Children's Nativity Parade after church next Sunday and then the actual program is the 18th. Her school Christmas program (they call it the "Winter Program") is this Friday morning. And she wants to pick out a cake for her birthday at the grocery store, so she will get to do that this year. We'll have cake and ice cream for those that come for that.
I've been a little lax on putting anything up for Favorite Photo Friday lately. "Too busy" is a better way to describe it. I had a Cookie Exchange and Ornament Exchange last night with co-workers. It was a good time and nice to laugh a little (actually a LOT!). I came home with a tub full of cookies and a nice ornament for the tree.
We had our first significant snow yesterday, too, so Tony plowed last night (and didn't get much sleep).
We'll eventually get the tree decorated! We put a couple ornaments on each day. Maybe by Christmas it will be all done!
