Day 46 of the Wait

We are at day 46 of the wait today and it's already December!!! Starting Tuesday of this next week, there is something on the calendar for EVERY day (yes, EVERY day) so I know that the days will just start to fly by! Once we get to January and that day 90 rolls around (the "average" number of days families wait and shoot for) I know we will get much more antsy! Some families are waiting 120-150 days! I really hope that is not us! My adoption friend from Maine, Tonya, who received their referral the same time we did just received their RA (after about only 42 days!) so they will be traveling in December and hopefully will have their daughter (was going to be Grace but now that they are going in December they changed her name to Noelle!) on CHRISTMAS EVE!!! How exciting for them! What a gift! Of course we were hoping to travel together and finally meet (I'm sure they won't wait around for US!) so we'll have to plan a trip to Maine sometime! :)
Today we wrote some letters to Kennedi and took them to our local Chinese restaurant (we live in a really small town and know the owner!) and she is going to translate them for us so that we can send them and she'll be able to read them! How fun to write some letters to our daughter and the kids to their sister! We cannot wait to receive that RA so we can send her package!
Other than that, we continue to work on building Katelyn's room and the play room. The framing is done and the electrical is going in. Cannot be done soon enough! We are taking apart Katelyn's current room so we can finally paint it for Kennedi and so Katelyn is sleeping in Bradley's room for now! I am trying to sell those stamp sets and they are going pretty well (thanks to a friend Lisa who told all her stamping friends) and have been wrapping Christmas presents. So, my house looks like a tornado hit it and we don't have tornados in Kerman! Oh well, maybe one day, our house will be back to somewhat of a normal household! :)
