Not much news, but lots of action!

We have been working hard, getting our travel papers ready to go. We sent off our passports the other day to get our visas. I won't rest easy until I get them back! We also sent a family picture and a little letter to Gracie that our agency will translate and include in a care package they are sending to her. What an experience that was- writing to a stranger who is your daughter, in only 500 characters (not words!) that someone else will read and translate!!! But it's on its way and I hope she understands that she is loved already and there are MANY people waiting for her to come home!
We have started to think about what to pack, and will get the list out soon. Once we have specific dates (Nov 1 is a good bet) I will post here. In the meantime, it's just hurry up and wait - which we've had lots of practice doing over the last 22 months!!!

I can't even imagine writing that letter! How do you express everything you want to say in under 500 characters?! I think it is SO cool that she'll see pictures of you all before hand, and be able to recognize who you are right away. Thinking of you guys all the time- Love to all- Sharon
