I am thankful for the outpouring of love and support we are feeling from family and friends as we wait on our Travel Approval. The photo above is just one example of that love. Our sweet friends the Eason’s sent these “carry on bag” activities for the girls. They were so excited that they posed for the photos and then put them in their new backpacks.

As of Tuesday we are waiting for our Travel Approval from China. I am thankful that we are in the final stretch of the wait. Little Dani is 22 months old today and I hope that we will be there to meet her soon. All China agencies will be closed from Jan 31st – Feb 6th for the Chinese New Year holiday so we hope that it come soon after that.

I am thankful for my sweet sister Michelle who loves me and sent me these Doctor Who treats for Christmas. We have so much going on right now that it’s nice to snuggle up and have a cup of tea at night after the girls have gone to bed.

The blanket and mug are from the episode “The Pandorica Opens”

This week we are thankful that we got our update about Dani! This photo came with the update and the most important news was that they told us she could walk! YIPPIE!! That gives me such a feeling of relief. They also gave us information on her personality, eating habits, sleeping habits and personality. So excited and thankful!
