news of news?

We have news!  Of news!

And when you get news from your adoption agency to expect news, what do you do?

You clean out the basement storage room, of course!

And then you tear all the charming but invasive Boston ivy off the side of your home.

After that, you take dominion over your corner of creation by weeding all the garden beds that line your yard.

Oh, yes, you also make sure that the i800 and the 864w forms are accurately filled out (in black ink with all writing done in capital letters) and properly signed and all ready to go to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.  (I just got butterflies in my stomach when I typed that sentence!)

And then what do you do?

You GLEEFULLY wait for the news.

Sometimes, waiting is incredibly satisfying and productively sweet.

Emma Katherine YuXiao, we're waiting!  Soon; so very soon, we will be there with you.

Can.not.wait.

Sending you x's and o's this Lord's Day.
Love,
Momma
