ARTICLE 5!

Has been picked up as of July 6th in China!  We are officially on Day 2 of our wait for TRAVEL APPROVAL!!

We had such a wonderful time with all of our children and granddaughters home over the 4th of July.  The new, bigger home felt perfect as we found a place for everyone to sleep,  and having the neighborhood pool was a treat for the granddaughters.   I  even got to take our second table leaf out of the box for the dining table (we had never had a room long enough for that before).   I couldn't think of a better way to spend those last days of waiting for our Article 5.  :-)  

Saying goodbye is always hard for me, but I was so busy cleaning and packing for China Camp that it helped take my mind off of that sadness.  And now the girls and I are in Tulsa, enjoying camp and enjoying the company of good friends.  Rick stayed behind this year to work, since he'll soon be taking his time off for a little trip to China!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully I'll be sharing photos of the weekend and camp soon!
