Update and pictures!!!

So what have we been up to???

We had an amazing Christmas.  We celebrated with all our family and the kids had a blast.  We could definitely feel the missing piece though. I can not wait to have Caleb home and celebrating with us.  We were able to get a package out to him in time for him to receive it for Christmas and today we got pictures!!!! 

I know buddy not that interesting :)

Ok Mom that is more like it



How wonderful and amazing it is to see him looking at his brother and sister


It looks like he has gotten a haircut and his hair looks thicker!!  I can not get over how much my heart loves this little boy that I only know through a picture.

I can tell you we also got an email yesterday.  One that gave us a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel......our Article 5 was dropped off on 12/23 and will be picked up 1/11.  This is the last step.  Once it is picked up we begin our wait for TA (Travel Approval). Some are getting them quick.  We are hoping and praying we get it right after the Chinese New Year (we would take right before it too).  If we do get it the first week of Feb. we could be traveling the last week of Feb!!!
Oh soooo close.

  3. Omigosh!! How crazy to see him looking at your gifts! It makes him seem so much more 'real' - you know? BTW - our photographer that did our story in the northwestern was from China, and she said 'tell you friend - no travel on new year! too crazy for american!' ha :) I told her you didn't care - you just wanted to get there!
