A Busy Few Weeks

Well, it certainly has been a busy few weeks here. Thankfully I think Winter is finally on its way out. We have the windows open and Colby started Spring soccer today. The team did great, winning their first game! And now we head into Spring break and Easter. Amazing how quickly these months go by.

Aunt Trisha and Uncle AJ are visiting from Virginia so a big week is planned. Colby already has a playdate on Monday, a trip with Auntie and Uncle on Tues, and a sleepover at Grnadma Donna's with cousin Keith on Thursday. PLUS, a trip to the Bronx Zoo with cousin Lizzy, aunts, uncles, and Grandma Laurie and Grampy Tom. What a busy week! Somewhere in there the Easter Bunny will come too. Wow!

And some really great news: Friday was a great day here. Mike and I went for our fingerprint appointments with USCIS (Immigration). Hopefully we will have our immigration approval by the end of the month. And, all our other dossier documents returned from the NY Chinese Consulate. They have very pretty Chinese lettering on them and look all official! I sent everything we needed for the dossier to the agency on Saturday. They will start uploading everything into the system, get them approved, and ready to go to translation. Then we just need our approval and we will be DTC (dossier, or documents to China). A HUGE step towards our Little Miss. Once we are DTC I am told it will be about 4 months. It seems to be about standard on everyone's timeline. Wish we could speed it up but we have come a long way in just these few months. Please continue your good thoughts and prayers for a speedy timeline. Let's pray it stays as smooth as well, things have gone really well so far, no big hiccups!
