While We Are Waiting. . .

These are the photos I took for the boys' visas to China. By taking them myself and going to Target (they have a photo id program on their photo terminals), I saved about $30 :-). I highly recommend doing this if you have the time. The program on the terminal makes it super easy to make the 2X2 pictures you need for passports, visas, etc.

Well, no news from China this week. No news from the U.S. either. We are waiting for our visas to China to be approved. We are also waiting to find out if our Article 5 was picked up. When that has been done, the CCAA can issue our travel approval. Of course, the average wait time is still over 3 weeks from Article 5 to travel approval. So, we are waiting. . . and waiting. . .

I am feeling sorry for the handful of people who read this blog because there is no new news :-(. Not much happening :-(. Oh well, I was very encouraged by what another sister in the Lord wrote. She wrote, "God is never late!" I will trust in that.

In other news, Matthew and Nathan have started up their Chinese classes again. I can't say that they are loving it, but they sure are learning a lot. I think of how far they have come since last year at this time when they knew virtually NOTHING in Chinese. Now they can understand so much, can speak and write and read more and more as time goes on. My hope is that they will be able to converse with their baby sister in a few weeks!
