Our Family Blog – Mike, Louanne, Nadia, Amelie, & Dani
I have not meant to neglect my TT posts. We are VERY thankful for everything that has been going on the last couple of weeks.
Today I am most thankful that yesterday we got our flight to Ningxia booked, our hotel in Beijing booked and found a beautiful red dress for Amelie to wear when she is sworn in at the US Consulate.
Good stuff!
WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
We got our travel approval and our consulate appointment is booked.
We will be meeting Amelie on Valentine’s Day! Isn’t that the sweetest? So excited!
It is such a relief to have a date and we will have lots of details to follow. But first off Nadia and I made a paper chain so she can rip one off each day as we countdown. Then she also gets to X off the day on the calendar each night.
Praise God that we will be on our way to China soon to meet our sweet girl.
To prepare for being a big sister Nadia got a big girl bed and new dresser from IKEA. Then Mike painted the room her favorite color and then we hung up all the decorations again. I think they really “pop” with the blue! She also got some red toy holders and a red table for her new humidifier that she picked out – the red dragon. And last of all a new red chair from IKEA since we moved the glider into Amelie’s room. We also moved her kitchen into her room which she really enjoys. We have a wall hanging from Nadia’s province in China that we need to have framed and it will complete her room.
Next Mike moved on to Amelie’s room. I really wanted to go totally different since Nadia’s room is all primary colors and musical things. So we chose 2 shades of lavender and selected paintings with flowers, butterflies and lady bugs. We ordered a little ducky humidifier for the yellow table. We are waiting on a painting that my good friend Laura is doing and we are going to look for something special in China for the last wall. We ordered new wood blinds for both girls rooms and then went with the green curtains. I think that Amelie’s room came out very sweet and it has such a happy feel!
