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!

Hi! I've been following your blog. Don't remember how I got your blog address. But anyway, we will probably be traveling at the same time. We got our Provisional Approval on Nov 21 and our NVC letter Saturday. My husband and I have a boy who is 4 years old adopted from Guangdong Province in Dec 2008. We are adopting our second son also from Guangdong Province. I'm hoping that we will be able to travel in January but don't know about the Chinese New Year and how that will affect the schedule. Well, we will probably see you in Guangzhou!

Hi Sue. Jordan is in the Dongguan CWI. Our agency is Great Wall. I heard from them today that they probably won't have any groups go the last week of January (which looks like that's when we should go). So maybe we will be traveling the first week of February!
