February 1- Lots of good news!!

We received LOTS of good news today!! Our agency notified us that we received our travel notice (or travel approval to some people). This is China's official "okay" stating that they will allow us to come and adopt from their country. Now we will be awaiting our consulate appointment date and then we can make all the travel plans with our travel agency. WOOHOOO!!!

Also, we received updated information about Elizabeth!! On January 4, she weighed 18 pounds and was 26 inches tall!!! And she already has 2 teeth!! How exciting!!

These are the two newest photos we received of Elizabeth. Apparently they were both taken on January 4 when she was 8 months and 2 days old!! Have you ever seen a more beautiful child????

The Lord is good and He does good!!
