Waiting for Travel

As we wait for our travel dates I got an update on Dottie (Leanne).  She has grown soooo much since our last update in July and since this adoption has taken us 6 months longer than expected ALL the clothes I have bought for her are going to be too small.  Now I have to start over (those who know me, know, I hate shopping) :(  At least I will be able to give these small clothes to my grand-daughter, she can grow into them.  While waiting my son is moving out since he and his new wife bought a home, They will have their baby, and I have been looking at flights and hotels for our trip.  They just seem to be getting more expensive the closer into summer it gets.  I hope we can get a confirmation soon so we can reserve our tickets and hotel before they go up much more.  I had surgery almost 2 weeks ago on my shoulder.  It is hard doing everything with my left hand and it takes me forever to get stuff done and by bed time I am exhausted.  I start physical therapy this week so I am hoping to get more motion in my shoulder.  Also I have been trying to apply for some grants to help with the travel cost for my boys to come and help us while traveling.  Last week we sent off for their passports and had to expedite them, that cost us $370.  As soon as we get them back I can apply for all of our VISA's.  We still have a little bit of paperwork left for traveling but the majority of it is behind us :)

And I almost forgot  HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!
