Over the hills and through a snowstorm to grandfathers house Emily goes.....
Emily recieved a different kind of birthday prestent this year. She got a playbill in her card for the broadway play Wicked. She got to go to Chicago and see this wonderful play this weekend. She was so very excited to have Grandmom and Granddad all too herself, not to mention the play. It has been weird not to have her home this weekend, but she is having a ball!
Although the rest of us stayed close to home this weekend, Taylor and Zach were able to experience abit of culture themselves tonight. After church tonight Tim and I were going to go out to eat at a local Thai resturant. Knowing the kiddos and their very bland tastes, we had planned on Taylor watching Zach and going alone. The kids had other plans however...They begged and promised to be good so we took them along! I wish I would have had my camera to capture their faces when we walked in. They had no idea what this was. They did great however, We ordered Pad Thai with no spice for them to share as well as fried wontons and they actually ate them! Tay was not overly fond of the Pad Thai, but loved the rice and wontons and Zach ate it all. They had such fun with the chopsticks and loved the carryout containers :-)
We did receive our "hard" copy of our 1800A approval this week as well. It was so very nice to get the coveted piece of paper in our hands! Now the agency sent off their copy to the Secretary of State to get it authenticated and then next week all of our papers will be going to the Chinese Consulate in Chicago. It will take a week or 2 and then our huge file of papers will be on a jet plane to China! Our "paperchase" will finally be over and we can sit back and wait not so patiently for our Logged in Date and then our approval.
Chinese New Year is fast approaching so I am anxious to do some research and share it with you. We celebrated the Autumn Moon Festival in honor of Sammy and we will be doing something for Chinese New Year as well I am sure.
Stay warm this week!!
