"We have your travel dates..."

Last Thursday while running back and forth across town we received the good news that Jennifers final visa appointment was a success.  It was a crazy day of trying to figure out the travel dates and trying to figure out all the emotions that had been guarded for two years...all while taking five kids trick or treating.  It was exhausting and overwhelming and wonderful all at once.

It was also update day.  We love GLA and how hard they work to help us connect with our kids while we wait.  I think the monthly updates may be the single most important thing that eases the adjustment for my biological kids.  They feel as though they know her already.  Going the extra mile to scan us copies of her little preschool school work is just amazing and so appreciated.

On Thursday, November 7 we head to Miami and on Friday we will arrive in Haiti and bring her home next Monday the 11th.  It is so surreal, but very soon, it will be anything but surreal!

Pictures from our 18th and FINAL update.

It was great to be able to print these and they are hanging on our fridge.  

This is her preschool class. They say she loves shoes, but I love how she is the only one barefoot here.  She will fit right in.

This is the little gift we sent her for her birthday. It is a sock monkey nesting toy.  It was probably a little hard, but all kids always like those.
