Merry Christmas


Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! We did not do Christmas cards this year. We have been very busy with Mei, Mei's paperwork. We are so excited to receive our completed Home Study. That means we've cleared our state requirements to adopt. We also had documents certified by our state and just sent the paperwork to the Chinese Consulate today. In the next week or so, we will submit our special needs application request to our agency and head to immigration. We are headed off for a two week vacation - yippee!

Our blooper picture . . . look we have a little elf with us!
