And we wait :(

This is Corbin's China plane. He is READY to go!

Well, our dossier has been hand delivered to the CCCWA. Now we wait for an official log-in date (LID). We really wanted it to be yesterday or today. Our email will come a few days after the actual LID. From the LID we wait thirty to sixty (hopefully 31 lol...)days for our letter of acceptance (LOA) for each baby. That will be overnighted to us from our agency when they receive it. We will both sign it. It states that China agrees for us to adopt Li Wen Hao and Dang Xue Yue and we agree to adopt them. After that we wait 11 to 15 weeks to travel. There are a few paperwork details done in the middle of that but that's the rough estimate of time. Now the truth is we are praying for that exact timeframe. One month from this friday for LOA and eleven weeks from then will be the middle of December for travel. I want to hold ALL of our babies for Christmas!!! It also means Aunt Kelc can travel with us. She is only out of school from Dec. 10-Jan. 10. WHEN this works out it will mean that it took rougly the time of a pregnancy to bring two toddlers into our family. How amazing!!! I'm not making light of it, this really is a GOD thing!

Moments I Never Want To Forget



This face is soooo about to cause trouble!!!



Ha HA Allie!!!



Oh, "I got you"!!!

Not wanting any part of the water fight, but CHEESY for mom!

Growing into a beautiful young lady right before my eyes!!

The fact that she isn't too cool to play with her baby brothers in the waterhose: PRICELESS!

They are suppose to be in their beds....I Love these two boys to bits! One day they will be too big to need mom anymore. I never want to forget when they were little!

Name That Snake

Can anyone identify the type of snake??? This country girl does NOT do snakes!!! These pics were taken from inside my house. The brave kitty was totally on her own as were the dogs chasing it. Thank goodness they chased it away from the house.

Dossier is at our agency!!!

Well, yesterday I stalked waited for the FedEx man. He was delivering our last paperwork needed for our dossier to go to our agency. We overnighted it to our agency and now we WAIT!!! Waiting will be the hardest part.
I woke up this morning to new pictures of Wen and a video of him playing with bubbles. Everytime I see his face it makes me realize even more why we do all the paperwork and wait for so long. I can't wait to hold Adaline and Wen.
Here is the link, I hope it works!!! He is wearing a big and orange shorts with REALLY short hair.

This Young Lady is AMAZING!!!

Click on the link to watch her video. There are other videos about Katie on YouTube that will definitely bring you to tears and "possibly" make you think of what's really important in life...We are so worried about which shoes to buy and where to go out to eat this Friday!!! God please give us a glimpse of what our hearts should really be. And, the strength to go "anywhere" you would ask us to!!!

Harley

This is Miss Harley! She is one of Parker's nine beautiful babies. NO, I don't have the rest of them here. Her mom is a beautiful girl imported from Russia. If you are interested in one of these beauties, message me. There are a few still available. This was her first time in the puppy pool. She wasn't too sure at first, but quickly lapped it up and then played!!! Today she found the mud puddle, I will post pics of those when I get them uploaded.





Such a sweet girl!!
