Last piece of the puzzle

We received a call from the province that our "Notice of Coming to CHina AKA Travel approval, aka TA" has arrived! youpee. that means that we could leave tomorrow if we wanted to. But we have to wait until the 26th as our tickets are bought, the hotel is booked and Daniel is all organized at work to leave in 4 weeks. I kinda wished I had gambled with the travel dates, we had the choice of the 5th of may or the 26th. I erred on the side of caution, sigh, there is a reason for everything, but I want my baby now. the days are flying by. I must say we are keeping busy with 3 kids at home. I am packing a few things. I will be a walking pharmacy by the time we get there. I am so afraid one of us will be sick and I won't have the right medication to help. So I would rather have more than enough instead of being up at 3 am with a sick child hoping I had a certain med.

Sebastien is so excited about gbetting a brother, he said today that he will teach Kai to jump really high on the beds...and as soon as he learns it, he will have to learn that you don't jump on the furniture ;-)
Genevieve wants to buy a fan in China with a dragon on it, she wants to give it to Simon, an 7 yr old boy in her class who is her " amoureux" boyfriend. oh my.
Mia is excited but she is not sure she likes the whole concept of not being the baby anymore.

We have LOA !!!

Yahoo, we received a message on the 4th of april fom Geneivève Forest-Allard ( adoption social worker) that our LOA had arrived, I was at wrok and we received the message after closing hours...and then we had to wait 4 whole days before we could get it signed!! It was the Easter Holidays..so on Tuesday April 10th our LOA was signed and returned to her so she could forward it to Bill Innes and then to CHINA!! Zippideedoodha ! Daniel signed his part in a church that was hosting a music festival...Geneviève was scheduled to play the piano in a competiton ( she received 3rd and 2nd place in her categorie..way to go!) I signed my part in the car on the way to the competition.. I was so excited to see this little piece of paper.
I had to go to work for 11am and at 11pm when I was done, Daniel had left me a message to call Yulin. So we set our travel dates already! We will be leaving may 26th, only 6 weeks away!!!! there is so much to do before we go...what do I pack?? I am so thrilled in about 43 days I will have my baby in my arms...Hold on Kaï, your maman is coming!
