Finally.........!

We have our first homestudy visit scheduled for next Thursday. YEAH!! I am so anxious, expecially since we received a letter last week from the Detroit USCIS office that it is currently taking THREE MONTHS to process the I-171 AFTER they receive the homestudy and fingerprints! So, our new estimated date of getting our paperwork to China is not until February. Our poor little guy has been waiting 5 years for his family to come and get him and now it's going to be even longer. Just keep thinking good thoughts and praying for road runner like speed for our paperwork to get through the necessary steps!!!
In the meantime...Ms. Regan had her first middle school dance last Friday night. She had a great time at the dance and during the endless process of getting ready for the dance!! She looked so cute.The day after the dance, Delaney Liu decided to drop a 2-3 pound rock from above her head and it landed on Regan's face!! We are so lucky it didn't shatter her cheekbone! She was quite swollen and it's still tender, but she is not black and blue and nothing is broken. It was a hard painful lesson for Delaney to learn, but she now understands the reason WHY rocks are not to played with around anyone, and especially not to be dropped near anyone, even as an "expawument" (experiment) geesh!
