LOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!! We got it!!! Our agency emailed us on Monday to let us know that our LOA had arrived. This is our "official" notice from China saying Courtney is 100% ours!!! The paper has to be signed and sent back to China so they know we still want to proceed with the adoption. The FedEx guy showed up yesterday afternoon just before 4:30pm. I asked him to please stand there and smile because I needed a picture!! :) He did but was completely confused till I explained what it was all about. Then he thought it was pretty cool!!!



And here is a pic of the actual LOA (also called LSC - Letter Seeking Confirmation).



We still have to wait for Travel Approval before we can bring her home, and there are lots of steps in between now and then (mainly immigration stuff). At this point we're looking at traveling 10-13 weeks from now... but it could be earlier or later. Right now I'm still thinking we have a chance at traveling in April!!!

In other news... Andrew participated in his first Cub Scout Pinewood Derby!!! He worked really hard on making his truck. Scott helped, but Andrew honestly did the majority of the work himself. Here's a pic of him outside holding his "Gator" vehicle (I think he looks pretty good in his uniform!!).



He won 2 of the 4 races he was in... A friend of ours took a great pic of one of the races... I'll post that once he sends it to me.
