We are back home after spending the Christmas weekend with family. We had a great time, and safe travels. I think that Jason and I are kind of worn out, and even our dog, Ruby, seems to be resting and recuperating today. Throughout this holiday season, we have so often thought of our boys. We continuously pray for their health and safety, and also that they are able to process and cope with all of the big changes that are soon to take place in their lives...and in our lives too!
One of my sister's friends visited us over the weekend, and brought us a ton of gently used clothing that should be about Christian's size. Thank you so much! We bought a pair of shoes for each boy this weekend. We totally guessed at sizes, and are thoroughly prepared for them to be wrong, but at least we have something, and maybe we'll get lucky! We are also starting to get ready for the miscellaneous things we'll need for traveling...on the advice of another mom who adopted from Colombia, we are loaded up with RID (anti-lice shampoo/treatment)!
We heard from our social worker last week that our Article 5 letter has been approved, and we are waiting (very excitedly and anxiously!) to receive our approved travel dates. With the holidays, however, we suspect that most everything will move very slowly, or not at all, for the next week or so. It really feels like we are getting close now...probably just a few weeks until we meet the boys....whoa...deap breath! Just like the past weeks have though, I am sure the time will fly by, and we'll be on our way before we know it.
I can't imagine the feeling. I would be going crazy packing, then realizing we need that within the next couple weeks, unpacking. Then repeat!
