Finally, an update!




It has been so long since I last posted that I don't even know where to begin! Let's see- Rion turned 13 so he is officially a teenager and that is very hard for me to believe. Our dossier was mailed to China the week of Thanksgiving and that was one great step DONE! We are awaiting our LOA and this week will be three weeks since it was logged into China's system. I know that's not long, but I was hoping and praying we may already have it. We have lots more steps to complete in what feels like a short time to do them. Oh yes, and Collins is actually Kelly. She named herself Kelly and that is how she signs her letters. So, while naming our children special names that we picked our just for them has always been important to me, and just something that I loved, we felt very strongly that we should let her have the name that she loved. So, Kelly it is. And we have absolutely fallen in love with this little girl. Her notes to us make us cry and we want to bring her home as soon as possible! I know we are a little biased, but we feel that we must have the sweetest girl in all of China! I asked her if she was nervous to leave China and come with us to America and she said No, because she feels that we are already family in her heart. Come on LOA.


We hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!!!
