We finally got travel approval!

We got word from our agency today that our TA (travel approval) has been received. This means they can make our consulate appointment and we can book travel. After the long wait I feel ill prepared with what feels like a mental “to do” list of a zillion items left to be done!

We are so grateful for the love and support of our friends. Our puzzle is almost complete and in addition to the puzzle, we’ve received so much support in other ways that is making a huge difference for us. We want to be sure and thank:

• Patti and Jolie for going through Jolie’s closet and providing us some great clothes for Finnley in what seems like a range of 4 different sizes — perfect seeing we really don’t know for sure what size she wears!
• April and her kiddos for going through their toys and providing an Xterra full of goodies.
• Nancy for this Mulan print she has had since college and the Mulan doll to go with, arrive right when we were setting up her room.
• Melanie and her friend Rayleen who have provided us great clothes for Finnley AND some needed items for the boys so we have less to worry about.

It’s amazing how things have just come together and all at the right time!
