THE call!

While we were out at my brother and sister in law's farm doing this:
























And this:






















And this...she was so close!



















that I missed this:




I missed the call from AAC letting me know our LOA was here! I can't believe I missed THE call. Craig called and said, "Hey, Nicole called our house # and emailed. She wants you to get in touch with her right away." I called AAC, but they had been closed 15 minutes. 15 minutes.

So today, bright and early, I was poised and waiting to receive THE call. What a sweet call it was! We are now a HUGE step closer to going to get our Evan. Nicole said she'd overnight our papers, we could sign and overnight them back. She said she'd get them out to China on New Years Eve. Wow. She said we could expect to travel in 6-8 weeks.

We are all so very excited!
