At the risk of being annoying...

I'm not sure in the blog world at what point multiple posts a day gets annoying and people start boycotting your blog. But if you're my mom (and face it, as far as I know, she is the only one reading this) you care about every little moment of my day. But I promise, this tid-bit is really exciting:

Our final paper has been authenticated by the Chinese Consulate in NYC and is on its Priority Mail way back to Dayton, OH. My dear friend, Cindy and her two girls were gracious enough to go above and beyond the call of all friendship duty and hand deliver the document today (with a same-day turn around for their efforts) saving us about 3 or 4 weeks wait time. I can't even stinkin' believe it! There is a small chance that our dossier may be on its way to China by the end of the week.

If you can (and are) keeping track of this whole dang thing, once China gets that dossier (or pile of officially official papers stamped by everyone and their brother) we wait for our official approval to adopt Quinn. And once we get that approval its a matter of a few months before we can go and get that chunk of a boy.

Oh, and did I mention that we have seen God bring in over $19,000 for this adoption? ($22,00 is what we need.) Ah, yeah! The month of December has been one big fat- "I gotcha covered" by God Almighty. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, your right your mom does want to read every little detail that happens. HOWEVER, details are always more fun for me when pics are included. 3 posts in a row with not one single picture. Honey, I think you are a very talented writer, but-----remember you did have several photojournalism classes @ BGSU as well.
