We can leave with our daughter!

Kenna got her visa to enter the U.S. in record time today! The interview lasted less than 60 seconds - no joke, and our visa was ready within 1/2 hour and $400 after that. Maybe we looked like we would hurt someone if things didn't go our way today; or maybe it was the desperation oozing from our pores. Or maybe it was the begging? No matter-- it's done, and we're on the downward slope.

We can come home and bring her with us! No small thing if you've been following along for a while. It was touch and go there for many, many months. When we touch down at LAX on Saturday night, she'll be a U.S. Citizen, and this part our journey will be all but complete.

K is doing great. She loves to smile and laugh...and she has the cutest little dimple in her cheek - we're discovering new things about her every day.

We're going to spend our last full day just around here picking up some last minute things we cannot live without, which includes an extra suitcase...i have no idea how we crammed everything into 2 bags on the way over. Oh, that's right - we didn't! It was done for us by the packing fairy, and she's not here to help us now!!!

Ready to come home - ready to begin the next phase of our journey!
