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

WHOOO HOOOOO

Well, the Lord has blessed us with our LOA FINALLY after waiting 49 days since we were logged in with the CCAA! I know we are blessed as things have seemed to slow down a bit since the Chinese New Year, but God's timing is perfect and I had rested in that face, really!!! I know He has this under control and I will be still and wait on Him!

We sent a care package to Levi almost two weeks ago, so hopefully he will be getting it soon along with the cake to his foster family! I cannot believe in just over 2 months we will have our sweet boy in our arms! THANK YOU LORD for you perfect plan for our family! I pray that Levi's heart starts to open up to us as his forever family! Won't be long now Levi!

We were also blessed to be with very good friends when we received LOA. We actually have known them since we got our first China dolls back in 06. It was a wonderful celebration!

Faithfully in Him,

Dawn

Care Package and Cake!!!

We are SOOOO excited to be working with Ann from Red Thread! She is sending a cake to Levi and his foster family for the spring festival holiday and three photos for us and a short letter. As far as we know this is the first he will see us or learn about us. I sent a full care package yesterday. The letter we sent with the cake says that we are sending a big care package shortly behind..... we hope he is excited to have us for a family and we can't wait to get some updates from Ann! We should hopefully get pictures of him with his cake and I hope his foster family! I am going to burst waiting on it! ;-)

I meant to take a photo of his care package but it included:

New PJ's

A new long sleeve shirt

toy cars for him and his foster brother

Candy for him and his foster brother

Presents for his foster parents

Lindt chocolates for the nannies

pencils, bouncy balls, and lollipops to share with all the children

a toy batman computer to hopefully help him learn some english! ;-)

and a book full of photos and captions of our, and now HIS, family!!!

There is another family that is traveling to see his orphanage soon, so we are sending a recordable book and teddy bear with them so they can give it to him directly. We are sooooo excited!!! WE LOVE you already Levi!!!! We are praying for you every day and praying for speedy paperwork the rest of the way buddy!

All our love!!!
