The Princess


I have posted a new picture of our little princess. Tess is spending the week with just mom and dad. Her older sister is on a mission trip in Kentucky and her brothers are at grandma's house. We realized that this is the first time Tess has had a chance to be an "only child" in the house. I think she is enjoying it a little too much - she may not want the other kids to come home. lol It has really been a special week for us.

On the adoption front, we have submitted our paperwork to the U*SCIS and they are processing our I 800* paperwork. Our officer is so nice - and you can tell she really cares about the families she works with. Our prayer is that the paperwork is processed next week and on its way to Ch*na. Our agency is estimating 5 - 6 weeks from that date before we travel - which puts us at the end of September. We are still praying for early September - and ask that you join with us in prayer. As always, we know that God has a perfect plan in all of this. We just feel so blessed to be a part of it.


Till later....

Tess is SO beautiful...she has the sweetest little smile! :)

Praying that your papers process quickly and that all goes as hoped for the end of September! Do keep us posted!!

BTW, silly question, but I've noticed a lot of bloggers that use the "*" in the official acronyms and Ch*na, etc.... what is the reason for that?...is it so that you can't be tracked on the public blogging world as easily? Just curious! (feel free to email me your reply now that you have my contact info.)

Hugs,
Tanya
