Travel Approval
The last few months have been busy getting ready for Michael to come home. We have not had any updated pictures or information on him but we do have travel dates. We will be leaving for China on August 6th and returning on August 20th. Happy Adoption Day for Michael will be August 8th. It has been a roller coaster ride the last week getting all the details worked out but the flights are now booked, we have our visas in hand and are ready to go to China. Katie and Eli are excited about the two weeks that they get to spend with their grandparents while we are picking up their baby brother. They are also looking forward to starting school on August 16th. Katie will be in Kindergarten this year and Eli will be attending preschool three days a week. It will be a busy year for our household. We will be updating this site while we are traveling so check back soon for all the latest information and pictures. |
