YAHOO!!!!!!

We just recieved a email from CCAI to let us know they've received our LOA today. I can't stay myself I'm so excited!!!! YIPEE!! The happy dance...shaking my groove thang' We should travel in five to eight weeks...Let the good times roll!!!

Our Princess

Isn't she cutest princess you've seen in a while? At least her Mommy and Daddy think so. This is one of the pictures that our adoption agency forwarded to us after she got her care package. The pink picture book she's looking at is the one we sent her of her new surroundings. We can hardly wait to get our LOA, I wish it would hurry up and time would go by really FAST!!!

3rd time to be fingerprinted

Can you believe it,we've been fingerprinted 3 times for our adoption. Hopefully, this will be our last! We left home at 5:30 am Thursday and returned at 11 am. We only spent about 15 minutes in Immigration office, drive all of that way to get in and out that quick (which I'm glad it didn't take so long to get them done).

When we got back that day DH had a appt with our doctor his blood pressure has been up lately, she put him back on some meds and told him to keep a check on it. He's been really under the weather since Thursday. So everyone please pray for him! I hate when my DH is sick.

I found out today LeLe really enjoyed her care package and shared really well with everyone. She liked the picture book we sent her, she kept on showing our picture to everyone telling them we was her mommy and daddy in chinese. Isn't that the sweetest thing you can hear? She really wasn't interested in the other pictures of her new house, the horses, dog, etc..just wanted to look at our pictures.

I wish we could get on a plane in the morning to get her, hurry up LOA; we're ready to have her home with us. The picture is of her modeling some of her care package, she's such a cutie! Just a proud Mommy I guess.

It's Thursday!!

For some reason the picture would not download last night...anyway...her she is enjoying her ice cream..

We're getting ready to head out the door to be re-fingerprinted (3rd time) and hopefully the last time...Have a great day everyone! Hopefully I'll get back for my Weight Watchers meeting..Wish us luck!

God Is So Good!!

Isn't she the sweetest thing you've seen in a while...she has such a sweet looking little face..I LOVE it..can't wait until I can hold her as mine.. This picture was made in February 2008 eating her very first ice cream. This pic was shared by another mommy that was in China at that time and was there at McDonald's. I'm so thrilled to have pictures that has been shared with me. I found out tonight our care package has arrived for LeLe (Aimee). I hope she enjoys everything we send her and her friends. We go in the morning bright and early to Atlanta for our re-fingerprinting appointment for USCIS. Hopefully they will move everything quickly for approval. Our homestudy update was suppose to be mailed out today, one for CCAI and USCIS for SN from NSN. Pray for us and Aimee, that everything goes smoothly and quickly. We're ready for her to be home with us.

Happy Tuesday...

We received our home study update to review today, let's go with. The longer it takes to get all the paperwork to where it needs to go, the longer it will be for us to have Aimee (LeLe) in our arms. I've started a new journal to remind me of things I need to do before we make our trip still. Anyone that knows me very well at all, knows that I journal quite a bit about my life. I think sometime as I write things in my journal, people will have a lot of things to read when I'm dead and gone :)
I'm sure there will be alot of laughs anyway.

We don't have any updates on when we will get to travel to China as of right now. We received our Pre-Approval on December 29, 2008.

Yes!!! Another day off work...

I take a extra day off work, even it's not snow..rain is fine! More paperwork for our homestudy update...Monday I got the employment letter and knew only one more paper to be finished. So on the way to work yesterday I mailed out the employment letter and another check out to the homestudy place to do the update. Well a couple hours after I got to work I received a phone call from our doctor's office and they had our medical letter finished, ready to pick up. I called DH at home and had him go to town get it and have it faxed to homestudy lady. By tommorow mail everything should be in her hands. On the way out the gate Monday I checked the mail, we received our re-fingerprinting appointment in Atlanta for 1/15/2009 at 9 am..that's going to make us a early morning to pull out of home. I still feel like the Lord is really leading us to go this way with our adoption, after waiting no long for a match and then run across LeLe's file on our adoption agency waiting child list. Praise the Lord!

It's the 2nd day of 2009..I'm sure this year will pass as fast as last year, hopefully the first couple of months will pass fast; since that will mean we will be on our way to China to gather our China Angel (Aimee) in our arms. James hasn't felt to good today so he has slept quite a bit this afternoon. Pray he gets to feeling better. Hope everyone else had a great day! I did finish Aimee's first care package today, it will be mailed out in the morning. I was told it would get there in about 7-10 days. I hope I hear from the orphanage, to let me know how she likes everything. I put together a picture book for her to see things and people she will face when she gets home with us. Please all keep praying for her little self to be safe and sound until her Mommy and Daddy can get there. It's so amazing how you can fall in love so deeply with a child by just having her pictures in front of you. God is so good!!

Oh yest...HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone and God Bless...from our hearts!

Everything we have read about our China angel...She LOVES to eat..looking at this picture....she's ready to eat that cake. This picture was shared to us by another family that had been there to get there child, (thanks for all the families that do share with us).

Boy...it's been such a crazy busy week for us to try to get more paper work together for our adoption of (LeLe) Aimee. Monday, we had to go to Athens to get and updated Police Records ran on us both and have our 2007 taxes done, since I hadn't done that yet. Then on Tuesday we had a appointment with our home study lady for an interview and spent two hours there with her..so she can type up our update homestudy report. I've written quite a few email to different families that has been though the whole process we're going thru. Let's go to China today..I wish.
