Travel Approval

Got an email from my agency today that we have Travel Approval!
Next is the consulate appt. and then flight and hotel arrangements!
I am thankful that my agency does all this. One less thing (and a very big thing) that I don't have to worry about. Thanks CAWLI!
It's looking like travel will be May 22 - June 4th. Not official yet.
Now where are the visas???

I have been on the hunt for a hooded sweatshirt or sweater for Abigail. I know it will be hot and humid but wanted to bring something with me "just in case". Sometimes the air conditioning can be a little cold. Not that I would EVER complain!!
Try and find a sweater or sweatshirt! I looked in Walmart, Target, Macy's, Kohl's, Baby Depot, Old Navy, to name a few, and FINALLY found 1 in Baby Gap!!
While in the store Loren came up to me with a pair of flip flops for Abigail.
"Abigail needs these" I told Loren that I didn't think Abigail could walk yet but she was insistent.
Well...because I sometimes feel like I am betraying Loren with a little one coming into our family ( I know, I know. Loren will be fine) and I want Loren to be a part of preparing for Abigail I bought the flip flops.

Aren't they cute!!
They may be a little big but I will try to put these on her while we are in China. I'll make sure I take a picture of her cute little feet in these!

So are things a real flurry at your house now?? What date are you leaving?

Good score Loren! You're sooo thoughtful. You're already getting to be a good big sister.

Let's get the countdown going faster!!

Oh, oh, oh ! If you don't have one ADORABLE little peanut waiting on you in China! She is precious....actually, both of your girls are precious!
Just had to drop in and say that.

Congrats on getting your Travel letter... It's a wonderful feeling when you finally get that document. Love the sandles.

Have a great Day

I think she's right....Abigail *does* need the flip-flops!

I'm glad she's preparing in a positive way. My dd is jumping into the crib and re-enacting baby-hood (as she's about to turn 5). This could be a problem! We'll see!

Three more weeks!

Hi, I'm on the SAC yahoo group and saw your blog mentioned there and that you are travelling soon. I hope to be travelling a day later than you and I am also looking to find a sweatshirt/jacket for a boy. I was thinking that yard sales might be my only bet, but I'm glad you found one and now I know where to start looking. Thanks and happy travels, Christy
