One step closer

Hope you all like the new layout of the blog...keep checking back since I keep working on it!! It has been a busy and frusturating week. We had our annual mom and kids day at the dunes with my sister in laws and all the kids. We had a blast and all ended up sunburnt!! (That is Emily that is getting burried in the sand!) We also have been trying to get a new fridge since ours is evidently not worth fixing (not quite in the budget!!) As far as the adoption goes I mailed our first packet of forms off to Hand in Hand and we got our Psych testing done thurs night...what fun that was!! We are still anxiously awaiting the information from the orphanage phone call and hopefully some new pictures as well!! I am not the most patient person in the world so this is pretty hard already for me! Tim finished his autobiography and all the pictures have been taken and are ready for our dossier. Our physical appointments are all scheduled for this month and then we just need to get Tims Passport, his employment letter (monday??) and then do our homestudy!! Then we pretty much sit back and wait until our fingerprinting appt and then for our Dossier to get to china!! After that it should take 4 months or so for us to get approved. So we are thinking around March or April to go and get our little guy! Just as always keep us in your prayers...for patience, for an easy homestudy, for relief of financial concerns, and for protection for our little guy.
