Yes, we finally have an idea of when we will travel to China! It's not as soon as we had hoped, but it will be early enough to get us home to be with Karter for the holidays! Now we need to go into hyper drive and get everything we want done around the house. Kayman's room is ready, but we need to repair the roof and then gut and redo a room that was damaged by water. I know that time will fly getting ready for a new daughter, but I just can't wait right now to hold her and dress her up in dresses and bows! The agency actually gave us two dates. They believe we will be on our way to Beijing on October 25, but if everything isn't processed like they hope and we can't get an Embassy appointment when they want we will travel on November 1. I've already told my brother and he's going to try to come up and spend time with Karter as well as check out our house and take care of animals and things while we're gone. I'm so anxious and ready to have a little girl in the house.
Today was also Karter's first day of 1st grade in the very school that I attended when I was in Elementary. I was glad he asked us to walk him to his room today because it gave me a chance to see the old classrooms I was in as well as some of the teachers that were there when I was a student. The school looks them same, but for some reason seems much smaller now than it did back then! Here are a couple pictures in front of the school where dad took my picture when I was a student!
