waiting... :O)

Today we should have the paper (LOA) that we need to sign. And then we will quick turn it back to TX!
I will post a photo once it arrives :O)

Please pray for timing of Christmas. I just found out that our agency ONLY mails items to China on Fridays.. evidently lots of agencies do this practice (talking to friends with other agencies).. GEESH. What is up with that? :O(
We are really going to be pushing the envelope to be back for Christmas.
Scenarios? LOA mailed to China on 31 Oct. Arrives 3 Nov (b/c of weekend).
2-3 weeks to TA (praying hard, this seems to be the trend - timeline and the praying)
So TA perhaps between the 17 - 28 November???? IF so then Travel is 3ish weeks from that.. 8ish to 18thish..
If we are back home from China by 22 our plans for girls will still work. IF anything after than that.. not sure.. maybe take them? and just put travel on our credit card?? yuk.
God is in control and He will work it all out according to His perfect time and plan. thank goodness!
**** UPDATE***
Fed Ex just came and as I heard his truck.. I ran outside :O) kids were eating lunch and YEA its here it's here.
When Bob signs it, I will take a photo and post :O) YEA YEA YEA
It is official- we are accepted as Drew's parents!!! YEA YEA YEA only two more pieces of paper to sign [TA & paperwork in province] before he is a Shelton (at least on paper- b/c he already is in our hearts)!!
