Dossier To China!
Well, we've been pretty busy recently (with my mom's Girl Scout camp, and VBS, adn volunteering and all), but I thought it would be good to let you all know that our dossier was sent to China. Which means that now...WE WAIT. All of our paperwork has been sent to China, so now nothing is dependent on us, we're just waiting for China to do their part. (Can't they hurry?!) So, yep. Also, on Saturday Kenzie will have been with us an equal number of days that she was without us, and on Sunday, she would've been with us for more of her life than without. Wow...WHERE THE HECK DID THE TIME GO?!?!?!?! Lol. It's been amazing...Well, I have to go for now. Keep checking our blog and following our journey to Karli!

Fish Face
This was Kenzie making a face at a pool party we went to on Memorial Weekend. Just thought I'd brighten your day...

Our Past Week
Man, we have had ourselves in for a busy week this past one! Check out a little bit of our schedule:
-On Monday, we (I say we, I mean my mom, Keaton, Kenzie, my mom's friends and her daughter; I was at the beach w/ my grandma) drove up to Austin to do something with the adoption paperwork. (It was all the paperwork...we took it all up there for certification.)
-And then, anyway, on Tuesday (the following day) and took the paperwork up to the Chinese consulate. Which, thank heavens, is about 30 minutes away from us. (I honestly haven't a clue what they did to the paperwork there...lol)
-Then, Wednesday, we went to a local-ish consignment shop for children, to shop for toys and clothes for the two girls. (This place is one of our favorites.) And then went on to church.
-Thursday was a day for me. :-D I went with my girl scout troop to an all-day shopping spree at the mall. I had a great time, and so did everyone else. :-)
-Friday, we *shudders* took Kenzie to the doctor. If you ever want to hear your child scream loud, a good way to fulfill your wish would be to take them to the doctor. Thankfully, though, no shots! Yay! We also (this was technically before the doctor appointment) took another paper up to the Consulate, and we will be picking up those on Monday. PLUS we have been working hard to get some last-minute things done for the girl scout camp my mom is directing and putting on in 2 weeks.
Phew!
-Today, (Saturday), we went to a big homeschool convention/trade show type-thing (I guess that's what you would call it...?) to buy our curriculum and material for the next school year coming up.
But...sports are over for now, and so are most of our activities. Summer camps and VBS's will pack up our Summer (plus me working at the place where I volunteer at, 3 days a week). Hopefully some of this will take our minds off time and make it seem like we get Karli sooner. (One can but hope...)
