Updates

Well it is hard to believe that it has been almost 2 weeks since we first received Cara's pictures. We did get an updated medical report. All is good. She weighed 11 lbs and was 21 inches. We both have put her picture on our computer desktop. So every time I sit down at my computer I get to see her beautiful little face. I (and some other folks) have been shopping! I have bought a lot of pink. I am so excited to be buying pink! We finally got all of our paperwork done (that we have to do to this point). It is sitting at the Vietnam Consulate as I type, to be authenticated,(they are closed celebrating Tet, Vietnam's new year). From what I understand though, they will be opening back up on Tuesday, 20th. From there they will go to our agency to make sure everything is A ok and then to Vietnam. After that I am not sure what happens. Initially, I was going to go to Vietnam to get her and Bill was going to stay home with the boys. However, since we have received her picture and shared it with our family and friends, a number of people have volunteered to watch the boys so we could go together. God is so good!

As far as what is going on otherwise... Well... It snowed here all day yesterday. There was no school yesterday or today. The boys did go out to play in the snow for about 10 minutes, but since it is only in the teens, much colder with the wind chill, they could not stay out too long. Not much else going on, normal everyday stuff. School vacation is next week. I am hoping to take the boys to the big hill in Gorham to go sliding. Should be lots of fun.
