Still Waiting...

We are still waiting for our I-797 from USCIS. I kind of wish our HS agency never told us that Philadelphia has been sending them out in two weeks lately because that really got our hopes up. This week it will be four weeks. It was sent on October 10, so Philadelphia probably got it on the 12th or 13th. Every day it is so exciting to look in the mailbox...and so sad to not find it. If I can't wait for my form, how am I ever going to wait for my baby?!

We decided that both of us will buy a Christmas gift for Jade to put under the tree this year. We won't let each other know what we're buying and we will wrap them up for Jade and open each others' gifts to her. I am excited about doing this!

We found some great bargains in clothing for her at Peddler's Village this weekend. Oshkosh was having a great sale and we bought her a gorgeous sweater ($34 regularly), two shirts, a hooded sweatshirt, and two skirts all for under $25! We also found an adorable shirt at Talbot's Kids for $7 (clearance) that says I Love My Pets and it has embroidered animals on it. It's adorable. I love looking for good clothing bargains now. I usually try to buy sizes 18 mo. and up and clothes that can be worn at any time of year.

I am looking forward to our trip to the Chinese Consulate because we are planning on staying overnight in NYC and getting some Christmas shopping done. If our form arrives before Christmas, that is...
