One step closer…

Check out this pretty sweet little piece of paper!  Oh Yeah!  It’s our passports stamped with Chinese visas.  This means they know we are coming, they are ok with us coming, and now all we need is a little piece of paper from Immigration saying it’s ok to bring McKenna back with us.  This is getting real here folks.

I also thought I would share one of Kenna’s Christmas presents.  Well, actually I gave it to John, but obviously it won’t fit his big neck, so…

Cute, huh?

Time seems to be dragging along.  Don’t get me wrong, there is NEVER a dull moment in our house – like Mom having to crawl through the doggie door the other night to get into the house.  The good news is – I FIT!   The bad news is we probably need a new garage door opener, which is probably why I couldn’t get it to open, hence the squeezing of my body through a flap meant for a Yorkie.  Ridiculous!

We did get a few new measurements on McKenna last week.  She is now 29” tall and weighs around 16.1 pounds.  I know that seems way too light, but it also appears she may have just had surgery in China to repair her cleft palate in November.  If this is truly the case, she probably lost several pounds after surgery since she would be on a strict liquid diet.  She also doesn’t have her Mommy there to rock her and tell her everything is going to be alright.  Look what a great job we did with Maddie!

Here she is after practicing golf with her Daddy.  Don’t you love the pink clubs?  She has Hello Kitty golf balls too.

So, that’s where we stand today.  I will keep you posted.

Big hugs!
