What a Difference a Day Makes

So much for the park today...

Half Day From School + Warm Weather = Day at the Park

Today was the perfect day to go to the park. The weather could not have been any nicer, the kids had an awesome time. This gave them the opportunity to run around and get rid of all that cooped up energy. I was surprised how daring the little ones were, but I guess they just follow what the oldest one does. It was so nice to hear the laughter they all shared and the silliness. I am sure looking forward to taking them again.
I have not recalled a winter like this at all, don’t get me wrong I am not complaining. Though the kids are still hoping to get snow this winter to make a snowman. They only had the chance once this season and that was on Halloween. On our walk to the park we saw many flowers starting to sprout.. Tulips, English Blue Bells, Daffodils and some other flowers just emerging from the ground. I am so used to the yard covered in snow and not seeing a thing! So now seeing this I am so ready for Spring! It will be so nice to see leaves on the trees, birds singing in the morning ,flowers everywhere, green grass and seeing the kids all outside. Down side to this ALLERGIES start, guess one can’t ask for everything.

LOA!!!!

This evening we received unbelievable news. Our agency emailed us stating we have our Letter of Acceptance (LOA). This is a HUGE step as China has now accepted and approved our application and all the paperwork that went along with it. We did not think we would have our approval this fast,so many other people have waited months to reach this step.
The next step for us is to get final approval through U.S. Immigration. Our agency feels we could travel in the next 12 to 15 weeks.
