Update

No news to report - We thought we were going to be in China on the 13th or maybe the 27th (still some hope there) but there's been some delays - the consulate appointments are booked through the month of June, our US clearance is sitting on the supervisor's desk :o and there's rumors going around no travel July 15 - September 20 due to the Olympics for adoption. :( I know God has a plan and it will be awesome but it's been alittle frustrating. We did find a service, Ladybugs N Love, that will arrange for a little cake and a new photo album with some pictures of us to be sent to Kristi which makes us feel so much better. I know she's 2 1/2 years old but someday she'll look back and see how we were thinking of her. Other than that, life is good and we can't complain, we have survived all the storms and rain well compared to all the poor folks in Iowa. It's just terrible. Keira is doing great and we are enjoying our time with her knowing her life will change quite a bit soon with a little sister on board. We've been doing lots of role plays and she really gets into it! She has written Kristi a few letters including one advising her to stop writing on the desk in Mommy's office. My favorite, however, is the one she did on her magnadoodle that says "Keira is waiting Mom too".

I cannot wait until you get to travel!!! I'd love to follow your journey on the blog so post pictures and keep it updated while you're in China if you can! I just love little Kristi's sweet face (loved it since I saw her picture back in August).
