Well, my mom is pretty sure she's going to buy the tickets (I think) tomorrow, seeing as she is like 95% sure she will be leaving on December 4th...it's coming up so soon!!!!  Wow!  I can't believe the date's almost here....and also Thanksgiving is this week!  :)  It seems like not too long ago, Kenzie was spending her 1st Thanksgiving with us!  Like I said, my dad and I are cooking and inviting the family over, and also having Kenzie's birthday party, since he real b-day is the 4th (of December).  Mom has made a packing list, and she and Kylie have been contemplating what to pack and how to fit everything they need to pack...determining what to bring for a 3-year-old is tough!  Everything she needs will most likely be far different from what we brought for Kenzie.  Now, if we could just get that TA....I'm soooo ready to have Karli home!  Going 2 weeks without mom?  Without the woman, whom Kenzie is most (i.e. completely!) attached to?  That is going to the be the adventure us fortunate ones being left at home get!  (Heh*heh*heh)  And, Christmas (as well as the start of the New Year) is on its way, too.  In the hecticness of Christmas, it's easy to get caught up in life and forget all about the true meaning (the birth of Christ) and making sure to spend time with your family and loved ones.  Take some time this holiday season to let everyone you appreciate and love, know that you care.  :)  So, yeppers...ugh sadly that's about it, lol.  I'd like to say that we're on our way to China, or have some news on TA's and when they may be coming in.  (Soon, maybe?!)  TTYL.
