We may have LOA this coming week...

Well, TA's came this week for some people (those fortunate ones who already got their LOA), and LOA's usually come the week after.  That means there's a pretty good chance that we might be getting our letter of approval in the week to come!  Maybe....it's all in God's time.  My mom told the agency that she wants the first consulate appointment available (I don't remember if I told you this...now isn't that sad?), even if it's like two days later, because she would like to have Karli home as soon as possible...even if that means spending a little more money.  Kylie's dog business is going steady still, and we actually have a dog at our house right now.  If there's 0ne thing I have to say about Kylie, it's that when she wants something she goes for it; she's not one to take "no" for an answer.  (I would tell you how much money she has in her account right now, but I honestly don't know.)  Kenzie is doing great!  She's quite talkative now...she seems to learn more words daily.  (Like rainbow...who the heck taught her that?  Hmmm...)  Keaton's pretty good, too.  He's playing baseball, as I believe I mentioned earlier, and he made a run today and got a game ball :-D that's awesome!!!!  My basketball games start November 3rd, so hopefully a little more activity will keep me/us busy in waiting for Karli...although it seems we have too busy of a life as it is.  Wellllllllll.....here's hoping to an LOA soon--perhaps wednesday.  TTYL.

WAITING STINKS!!!!!!!

What's up, everyone?  I know I haven't updated my blog in a while, but there hasn't really been any news lately.  We're still waiting.  *grimaces*  My mom is thinking we may get our LOA on Wednesday...we're hoping.  Last week, the CCAA (or whatever it is in China that is in charge of all of the paperwork) was on vacation last week and returned to work Monday at 8am...which is really Sunday like at 7 for where I live!  After LOA, I believe we will be waiting to get our TA and then our consulate appointment, so Kylie and my mom can travel.  (Kylie, like I was, is already ready to start packing...the wait just seems to take forever!!!!!)  My mom is also working on sending money each month to a child in China, who is in need of it, so whenever she finds out who and any information about him/her, then I will let you know.  Also, my blog will be undergoing a makeover soon.  I found a girl online who is going to do a layout for my blog for free, and I think I am like third or fourth in line, so that will be happening soon as well.  :-D  Sooo....I guess that's it for now!!!  Between sports (basketball for me, soccer for Kylie, and Keaton has baseball), church, and activities like Super Friday, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, our lives are all pretty busy.  (Plus school on top of that!)  I guess I'll be talking to you all later...hopefully with an LOA next time!
