A visit to Santa, some very attractive gingerbread houses built with the help of my niece and nephew fairly inedible as we had to use duct tape and hot glue to make them stay together!), buying presents for our local community toy drive, making gifts for our extended family, sending Christmas cards, finishing up our schoolwork for this calendar year, entertaining packing lists for China, singing carols, and checking our my e-mail neurotically for our approval letter from China (LSC).
It’s Day 44 today on the road to LOA… not that I’m counting.
Last year my magic number was 49. Praying you will beat that…
Thanks Kristi – I needed that toaday. 🙂
Well, you sound quite busy. And, I’d sure be counting my days for LOA! You should be hearing something soon! I hope you blog when you travel. I cannot imagine missing this trip.
crazy thought here….but just to make the wait more interesting….we will email you the dollar value of your LOA. And so then you can celebrate when it does finally come with a dinner out! Lol right now for a family of 6….your at a *McDonalds type of dinner. Let’s see if you make it to a Bonanza type (-:
You are hysterically funny R! Spoken like a woman who knows big families. LOL Let’s just say that if we stay at the McDonald’s level it may be the first time I will ever rejoice at dining there. 😉
Ahh you make me feel okay about the duct tape. haha Thanks Anita.
I will be blogging for sure. If nothing else but to remember how crazy it was. 🙂
I am with Kristi .. praying you beat her number. The LSC wait is hard – really hard! We think about you and your sweet boy often – hang in there my friend. L.O.V.E the picture of your precious family, so sweet!
