Surprise Visit.

Today at work I was diligently writing notes when I looked up and Michael walked into my office with a big smile on his face and papers in his hand. I instantly knew...... we finally got our CIS approval letter! I signed, he signed, got it noterized, went straight to FEDEX and it has been overnighted to Kate in New York. She will then send it off to get it authenticated. This is the last step before it goes to Washington, DC. We will soon be on the waitlist!!!!!

Lake Dwellers

We spent the past weekend at the lake with Gigi, Papa, Ranjo, Lindsay, Reese, Eli, Aunt Jessie, Mary Ella, Oma and Opa. We stayed at "The Dive" which is a lake house near Aunt Nancy and Uncle Leonard's. We were excited when we found out that Janet, Bailey and Mark were in town visiting. The kiddos had a blast tubing, swimming, going for boat rides, fishing and throwing rocks into the lake. It's so much fun to watch children enjoy nature!! Anna Claire and Bailey had a blast and had a sleepover! They have decided to be pen pals and send one another letters (they both enjoy getting mail).
