The past two days have been crazy busy, but so exciting! We heard from our agency early yesterday morning that the consulate had approved our first requested choice of dates for our appointment with them, which will be on 12/6. That means we're leaving in ONE WEEK!!!! We were able to get our flights booked yesterday and our travel itinerary is being prepared for us. It's all so very exciting - we'll have little Sophia in just 11 more days!
To add to our level of excitement, Rodney called me yesterday morning and said, "What would you think about taking Madeline with us?" YIKES!!! Maddie is our 16 year old daughter and I've wanted to take her all along, but we thought it made more sense to have her stay here with the other kids, not miss school, music performances, etc.... but you only live once and this is the chance of a lifetime, so she's coming with us! And yes, that took some scrambling to get her visa application/passport in the mail to the Chinese consulate in L.A. so that we should get it back next Monday. (Please God, don't let UPS lose it!!!)
Keep us in your prayers - we appreciate them so much!
Till next time,
Karee
Congratulations! Have a great trip!
