LOI Finally Arrived!

The long awaited, infamous Letter of Invitation finally arrived!

We decided to take a side trip to California this past weekend to get away and attend Milon's grandmother's 90th birthday party. We had no idea that the day after we got back our coordinator would call and say our LOI was finally done. They had guessed it might be done the 19th but we didn't put much faith in that date because we didn't want to be disappointed.

So the scramble was on to get our Visas. They were shipped out the same day and were in NY just in time for the blizzard! We were extremely nervous about getting them back the very next day, but GO FED EX they arrived (a few hundred dollars later) on Saturday.

We are optimistic about the plane ride with Davis. He was an angel on the way to and from California! He didn't nap and I have no idea what he did for 5 hours, but he sat quietly and was entertained the whole time. It was a great trial run. I did learn to bring toys that he can do things with rather than toy cars, etc. I am stocking up on playdough, legos, books, etc.

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
