Whew! What a week!

I feel SO blessed to be sitting at a working computer, watching my little "Hannah Montana" dance to her video....we were without power for a couple of VERY cold days during this ice storm. We've thrown away the majority of our food, and tried to catch up on everything that you can't do with no power! We even lost our phone line for a few days....that didn't happen at all during the horrible 2003 ice storm! I feel so awful for those out there who are still without electricity. It's absolutely exhausting! We both had to work during the whole ordeal, so Emma went to work with me for a couple of mornings, then Daddy would pick her up and take her to his office in the afternoons. Parker stayed with Jennifer's family, so at least he was warm! Happily, things are now back to "normal," whatever that is!

We are still waiting for our I-800, but understand that it will be to us within a couple of weeks, God willing! :) Then, its a quick trip to D.C., and on to the Chinese Consulate for approval. I've read of very quick LID's and 55 days for travel approvals, so we are still praying for May travel! We've been spending our time working on grant applications, and have several of those in the works!

Hope that everyone is warm and blessed during this crazy Superbowl weekend!
