LOA!
It's finally here: Our LOA! Next, we send in our I800 and our visa application. Then we sit and wait for our travel approval (TA). This is a wonderful anniversary present! Mike and I have been married 7 years today.
Last week I was longing to see LilyBeth and to bring her home, so I did the only thing we are allowed to do at this point; I sent her a care package. I picked an over-the-top package with 7 outfits, lots of toys, blankets, shoes, hair clips, and treats for the staff. I hope that LilyBeth will get the package this week and HOPEFULLY we will get some photo updates soon. It's so hard to be on the waiting end, but at least I know she will be home in God's time. This time around it's a bit easier to wait. Of course I have a bunch of kids to keep me busy during the days.
On a sad note, we found out today that Bo, our gorgeous English Cream Golden Retriever has hip dysplasia. I am so bummed--he is only a year old. Bo is truly the sweetest dog I have ever met. The kids climb all over him and all he wants to do is make us happy. He never misbehaves--he's afraid of disappointing us. So, we've decided that we will try some different medications until it's too hard for him.
These pics aren't Bo, but darn they look just like him.
