Off and running towards the Holiday Spirit. Thought we might ought to get a jump on our photos on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was great but thought often about our little guy who will join us soon from Taiwan. We are still waiting to hear word about our court proceedings and hope to hear something soon....
Jumped right in to the craziness around 10 am this morning on Black Friday...
No big deal... We weren't out after the deals just trying to get into the spirit early.... We want to wish each and everyone of our family members and friends a very Merry Christmas and Holiday Season.

Jing's papers are in the courts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the re-location of our Salon and just life in general, things have been crazy busy to say the least. We heard from Gladney on the 18th that Jing's paperwork has been submitted into the courts. We do know that it is possible that he can be done in the courts in a few months and then travel a month later. Please let it be in the first part of Jan. We can get through Christmas without me being over there. On the upside I wouldn't care except for the other children would have a very different Christmas without Mom home.... Or have Jing's paperwork clear the courts by the middle of Nov. and travel first part of Dec. and have us home just in time....
We would really love that.....
We have not received a new photo of Jing since July 1st. Oh how Chung Yi is so different from Tessa's facility where we received monthly photos, video, and height and weight.
I just want to see him again.....
Patience,,,, I know. One that I am not good at when it comes to adoption. I have often wondered what I will do with my spare time(ha ha) when there is no more waiting and adoption paperwork all done..... Just kidding.....I will just complete the re adoptions in NC for both the kids, post placement reports for both kids for a few more years and then WHEW! DONE! Sit back and enjoy life with 5 children..................... EEEEKKKKKK
