Wow What a Day!!!

So this Garden is coming together, but not without lots of stress. Today was also the judging for Jack's NHD (National History Day) documentary. They spent at least 80 hours working on it and it turned out great!!!! I came home to pick up things to take out to the Garden show and to check the mail for our I-800 and it did not come so I was bummed. I was on my way to the garden show and then run to Jacks basketball game by 5:00 when I got a call saying the game was at 4:00 not 5:00. I ran back to the school missed the first quarter. The score was Home 0 to 8 by half time. Let me just say Jack is a great defender I really enjoy watching him play. He may get a few point here and there but he is a really good defender. Well in the second half Jack made 2 three pointers and got the buzzer beater to win by one point!!!! I was just amazed. Wow. I am so proud of him!!!
So then it was time to run the kids home for dinner and then off to the garden. On my way home I called Jack and he tells me "oh some lady from AAC called and wants you to call her" What it is 7:22 why didn't you call me?????? Now I have to wait till tomorrow to find out if everything is ok!!!!! I called just in case someone was still at the office and they were there!!!!! They told me they got our I-800 approval!!!!!! So now all our paperwork gets sent to Judy in China. In about a week I will get a letter from NVC (National Visa Center). This letter lets us know they have entered us in the system and know China can access our information. Once we get this letter we email it to our agency and they email it to Judy in China. She then takes our paperwork to CCAA and files it. Then we wait for TA!!! How long does all this take???? Well about 6 weeks but just like with Kai's adoption our paper work will probably get to China during Chinese New Years. Which may hold things up for a week or so, so it may be 8 weeks. I am just glad things are moving along!!!! I also know the closer we get that Lily may be taken out of foster care and go back to the orphanage till we come to get her. Please please pray for her!!! Lots of changes are going to start happening in her life and if you have ever had a toddler you know even small changes can be very disruptive and stressful.

Lord Please comfort her!!
