So sorry...

Hi everyone. I'm so sorry for not posting in a while. One thing after another but we are getting so close!

After a mix up with Michael's passport delayed everything, we finally received his passport last Wednesday afternoon and were able to overnight everything to the Taipei Economic & Cultural Office in Atlanta on Thursday. We have confirmation that it was received Friday morning so now we are just waiting to receive it back so we can overnight everything to Taiwan! Woo
hooo!!! (and I have to say that the man who called back from the passport office was extremely helpful. He verified everything and, knowing we were working on an adoption, he processed it immediately. We had Michael's passport two days later. Thanking him and thanking God for that.) I sent an overnight return envelope with our papers to TECO so as soon as they put it back on the way to us, we'll know.

I'm working on a pictorial to send and we will have the nursery painted this week. Pictures of that coming soon! For those who care, we went with the Peek a Boo Friends set by CoCaLo (Google it and you'll see how cute.) Fun colors, lots of texture and adorable animals. I think she'll enjoy it (I know it makes us smile. :-)
We've also received this new picture of our adorable little one. We're so pitiful...we actually just stand and look at the collage on our refrigerator each day. Kaley's picture is not only around our house and wallpaper on all our computers, it's on the big screen at church each week because our Crossmark family is almost as excited as we are! Honestly, I think we could go out every night for a month and have a different babysitter each time if we wanted! Promise...I'll post pics of the nursery this week and let you all know as soon as everything's on it's way to Taiwan. Lord willing, this will be a great and productive week!

Just looked up the bedding--very cute!!! Will be watching for pictures. You are not crazy for staring at her picture--she is beautiful and very much loved! We did the same thing and I still do except I can touch them now! What blessings they are to me!!!

You guys sound just like us! Hoping everything is going well. We are waiting on our 171 H to be returned with our new country and then we can send everything to the TECO office, too! Kaley is just a cutie pie! I know our Kaylee and your Kayley are probably buds!
