Busy Summer but things are moving!

Yesterday our church took our Youth Group to an amusement park for the day.  It was very hot and thankfully they had a water park!  The kids swam and rode the water slides for a couple of hours then we broke for lunch.  After lunch the kids wanted to ride rides.  I am a water park kind of gal so I was not thrilled about the rides especially since it was so HOT!  But the kids had fun!  Hannah and Hailee saw go carts for little one's so they wanted to "drive"!

AND THEY'RE OFF!!!

Hailee is taking the lead....WAIT A MINUTE, THEY ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!
Thankfully no other kids were driving while my crazy driving kids girls were driving.  Jeff certainly has his work cut out for him when he teaches them to drive someday. 


 After some convincing we got Hannah to ride the Ferris Wheel for the first time and she loved it!

I finally talked Hailee into riding it with me and she was not a fan as you can see in this picture!  Mama hates heights too!

We had a good day!  It was fun!  


We are super excited because things are FINALLY moving with our adoption.  Last Wednesday we overnighted our i800a application to the USCIS and on Monday I got an email and text from the USCIS saying that they received it along with our reciept number.  Today I got the i797C in the mail which told us that they received our i800a on June 14, 2012.  It also tells what the next steps are.  The USCIS will schedule a biometrics (fingerprint) appointment for us at our USCIS Application Support Center.  We will get this by mail and hopefully soon!!!  We are hoping we get to go to Charleston, WV for it because they are suppose to be fairly quick.  And we want quick!  The quicker the better!  After the fingerprints we will wait for form 797 which means we were approved by the United States Government, Homeland Security to adopt!  Then we can send our Dossier to C*na!  Oh how I dream of THAT day!  
Meiya, we are working as fast as we possibly can to come and get you!  We know you are in loving hands with your foster mama!  God is watching over you!
