Link is working! Yea! We can leave for China now- Come on LID!

Apparently my first attempt failed- I did add a link- but did not get far.
Included in these pictures which you will hopefully see :-)
are pictures of our house which we are sending to Su Xue Wei, and of the reunion weekend which included a trip to Niagara falls. We did the maid of the mist- my first time. I have to say I was a bit nervous when they parked us in the horse shoe falls- Yikes Try here for pictures, and cross your fingers!

Shameless fundraising plug

OK- yes we are fundraising like mad- we are going to China in THREE months, and are thousands behind! We are fundraising through Current catalog- would love your help! I do love their stuff, so was excited about this fundraiser. The trick will be making more than I spend! I added the link to the right-
when you get to their homepage scroll down and look to the left where it says to start shopping. At checkout choose NY state, and we are under Houle adoption! Thanks!
We are putting together another little album of pictures to send to Su Xue Wei. Took some pictures inside the house when it was cleaned for our company last weekend :-) I am out of other ideas of things to send her, I will need to come up with something before I mail this out. She has loved our packages, but it is so hard to know what she will like not knowing her yet!
I included a picture of our CCAI Northeast reunion this past weekend.
We had about 275 people, always fun to see all the kids!

Woo Hoo!

CONGRATULATIONS, Jim & Sandy,

Here’s the news you’ve long been waiting for—your dossier was sent to China today (8/1/2006)!

Here’s what to expect for the next month:

The CCAA will receive your dossier in approximately 3-5 days. Our China Department will contact you by email once your dossier has been received by our representatives in China and hand-delivered to the CCAA.

The CCAA usually logs in dossiers within 4 weeks of their receipt and should notify us of your Log-In Date (LID) within the next 8 weeks. We will e-mail you as soon as we have confirmation of your LID and will then give you instructions on how to download your LID Packet. Your LID will also be posted on your personal online Parent Access Network (PAN) page of the CCAI website, www.chinesechildren.org, the instant we are notified of it.

Again, congratulations! If you have any questions about this e-mail, please do not hesitate to contact Pam (waitingchild@chinesechildren.org), Deniece (waitingchild2@chinesechildren.org), or Sarah (waitingchild3@chinesechildren.org) in the Waiting Child Department.

Congrats on hitting this milestone,
Kim
