Our adoption: 11 weeks

How Far Along: 11 weeks
How I'm feeling: warm and fuzzy - feeling a sweet affection towards Jemma this week
Gender: GIRL!  
Total bills so far: $7962.89
Bills this week: 0
Ways God is working: Jemma's bunny made it to the orphanage!  We haven't heard or seen any pictures showing that she has it personally - but we know it's made it through the journey!  :)
Things learned: That Phil needs his gallbladder out this coming week.  We also got a list of stuff we need to do to finish our dossier - not that much - yeah!  
Stuff we've done for the adoption this week: applied for general immigration permission (the 1800a was sent to USCIS for approval)
What I am looking forward to: getting our 800a receipt and fingerprint appointment; Christmas with our kids; Christmas with my family at a watermarkPraying: that we could be DTC before Valentine's Day and that Jemma can come home before next summer
Pictures of the week:

Went to my sister-in-law's college graduation with my Dad - So proud of you, Nery!

Grandparents' Christmas:

 Star Trek luggage tags for the cruise

 We put a candy puzzle together for Grammy

 And wrote a little something under every piece

 as a countdown to her retirement

 The first piece she chose was the verse at Gigi's memorial service!

 The girls got their own plasma cars

 Titus put the bow on his head just like Lily

 He got a soccer game

 Sammy got an airplane

 We played the Christmas tree game

 And Gigi even had gifts all ready for us that we got to open

 Lily got Gigi's apron

 Phoebe got a doll from Gigi that is the weight of an actual baby!

 Now all four kids can ride plasma cars - YEAH!!!
