Happy Birthday Gailie! US Consulate Appointment Confirmed

Tonight we celebrated Gailie's Birthday. We made yummy homemade vanilla bean ice cream and it was a hit!!

We all had our picture taken on this awesome new swing that Pete built in their backyard.  There was a little breeze and it was actually a tiny bit cooler so it was bearable to be outside.

July is a busy month for birthdays for our family...but I think Mom's is the last one of the summer. In April when we were matched with Kate...I definitely thought we would be in China for Sean's and Gailie's Birthdays. I even imagined what an incredibly awesome Birthday Gift that would be to have Gotcha Day on one of their birthdays!! 

Adoption News
We didn't quite make it to Gotcha Day on one of the family b-days...but we are getting closer...one step of the process at a time! Today, we received notice that our US Consulate Appointment in Guangzhou is confirmed for 8/24/10.  This is the email we received today!  Yeah!!  Now we can book our flights...finally!
