A big day for the McJason's

Today was a huge day for our family...so many exciting events today. First, Miss M. represented her class in their annual geography bee, and she did great! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of her! She was answering questions that I didn't even know the answers to (ok...so I'm a little embarrassed about it. I am not smarter than a 4th grader:).

Then, we took Darling D. to the courthouse to re finalize his adoption in the US courts. It's really a stupid step b/c he is already our child, but in order to get a state issued birth certificate (for school purposes, applications for passports, etc) it needs to be done. We decided to try it ourselves instead of going thru an attorney and so far, so good. It is pretty time consuming to do it on your own, but it saves a lot of $$$. We have one more step with the re adoption...appear before the judge, and then D' should be good to go with the state courts..yippee!

When we got home from all of the previously listed activities I checked my email and found out that we have an official log in date from China for Miss A. today, too. The date is when China officially logs us in to their system after receiving our completed dossier, and our date was Dec. 26, 2008. The only two major things that we are waiting for with Miss A. are our LOA (which should come in the next few months) and our TA-travel approval (follows a few weeks after LOA). Then we are off to China to get our baby!

I think I need to go sit down now....way to excited about life today:).
