Aaaahhhh. It's finally official. On Monday, we got word that our dates are official. We will fly out of Minneapolis on the 14th of January and get our little Sophia - gotcha date - on the 18th (I think). Our official consulate date is Monday the 25th and we are cleared to fly back on the 28th. If this all goes as planned, we will land in Minneapolis at 10:40pm on the night of the 28th.
Why Minneapolis, you might ask? Well, my sister Liz's wedding is on Saturday the 30th! So, pray for no major snow storms or weird flight delays. I'm a bridesmaid and David's doing the message. We have to make it!
Christmas has been very nice. We are still in Minnesota and enjoying the mounds of snow and frozen lakes for skating. One of the fun things Sophia got for Christmas is this beautiful quilt made by my sister Nikole. Lauren is holding it up for the photo. Obviously, Sophia will be able to enjoy this quilt for years to come! One of the cool things about this quilt is that it is stitched with red thread which is a traditional Chinese thing. I can't wait to see her wrapped up in it.
What a beautiful quilt!! We'll be praying for you all. How exciting!!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt.
My non-profit recently published a new book on Chinese adoptive parenting.
“The Dragon Sisterhood: A Guide to Chinese Adoptive Parenting” .
It can be found on our blog:http://www.dragonsisterhood.blogspot.com
I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing that with your readers.
Thanks, Beckett Gray
