Well, not much to report-- We are still awaiting travel dates and we are told that they will be here soon. Our agency also has told us that travel will most likely be 6 weeks (give or take) after referral. So, that still puts us in September. Usually, people get dates about 2-3 weeks before travel. Our acceptance package arrived at PLAN on Monday (per Fedex) and has to be reviewed before travel dates can be issued. Logically, we KNOW all of this information however, we would really like our travel dates NOW!! I think we may need a visit from the now-famous 'Patience Grasshopper'!!
Hmm... what else?!?
Yesterday, we went to the doctor to get our prescriptions for travel (malaria meds, antibiotics, etc). and that went well. It was nice to cross another thing off the getting ready check list. On Monday, we got a lovely baby gift from Polly and Lock. We think Iyla will LOVE her monkey rug (as seen above)-- thanks!!!
The families with our agency currently in Vietnam are doing well. They have completed their first visa appointment and should have the second one next week. It is hard to believe that will be us soon!!! We can't wait!!!

Love the monkey rug! Too cute!
Dear Janie and Michael,
The rug is so cute--it looks really furry and Iyla will love it! Hang in there, guys--- this waiting for your daughter is definitely hard, but a good exercise in patience- before you know it you'll be doing all kinds of waiting--waiting for Iyla to go to sleep, to get up, to be potty trained, to dress herself, to finish dance class, to get home from a date (ok, I skipped ahead a bit :-)
Love, Mom
