Happy Independance day!! I hope everyone is safe lighting off their fireworks. We opted out of the fireworks this year since our kiddo is off in California. Hi Nate-man. Hope you are having a good time . . . Mommy and Daddy miss you very much. Today we had a lazy do nothing sort of day. We ate junk food and watched Starwars. The movie was Daddy's choice. We are going to finish up your room this weekend. I cannot wait for you to see it. I think you are really going to like it. We are going to paint the walls a lovely shade of pink and light blue. There will be princess pictures on the walls and a beautiful pink ruffly canopy over your bed. Just kidding. I was talking about Kenzie's room. We are going to finish your room in the army colors you love. I'm not going to tell you any more than that though. Have a great evening watching fireworks. Mommy and Daddy will see you soon.We have enjoyed having some time to ourselves but it is awful quiet without our active boy. Who would have thought that we would not know what to do with the time to ourselves. Hey Kenzie girl. For this wondeful holiday next year you will be home with us. Mommy cannot wait! We are looking forward to this coming weekend. Saturday is Daddy's birthday. Sunday is the birthday party for our dear friend Lydia. Lydia is a sister from China and she turned 2 on July 2. You are older than she is but I know you will be good friends. Lyida's Mommy & Daddy; Miss Connie and Mr. Jonathan are some of Mommy's and Daddy's very good friends. We have a special present for Lyida and Mommy is hoping that it will arrive in time for the birthday party.Princess, we are hoping to come and get you in October - before the tradeshows in China. Mommy is praying very hard that we will in fact get to travel then. You would be home for the holidays and that would mean more to Mommy and Daddy and your big brother than anything else.China has our LOI for you my princess and we should receive a Pre-Approval within the next 4-6 weeks. As soon as we get that PA from the CCAA we will be able to contact you. What a wonderful blessing that will be. Kenzie dear, we love you and we are coming for you. ~T
