What a fantastic weekend!! Debbie was an AMAZING instructor and our group of ladies was so much fun... and talented!!! On top of that, Ian and LiLi were quite the adorable and professional models. Oh, they were so cute!! (Ahem, I mean handsome, Ian.)
I have a super busy work week this week, from morning until night, so I won't be able to pop around Blogland until late this week, but I did want to post a few pics from the weekend and share some great news. On Friday, we got an email from our agency that Da Xin's visa application went through, so we are 2-3 weeks away from TA, meaning 4-6 weeks away from travel. Four - 6 weeks!!! (Assuming there are no delays due to the H1N1 virus.) Have you ever felt so excited and so very nervous at the exact same time? Well, that's how I am feeling. I can't wait to meet our girl... to hold her in my arms... to just be with her. Yet, at the same time, I have major butterflies. She's turning 11 in 15 days. I'm about to become a mother of an 11-year old!! Yet, I know...

Congrats Michelle, I'm so happy for you! You'll be leaving soon for your little girl.
Your pics are beautiful. You're a gifted photographer and I enjoyed meeting you this weekend and getting to know you a little bit. Loved our adventures in Ann Arbor looking for the botanical gardens...LOL! And finally, your daughters are very blessed to have you as a mother. Can't wait to follow your journey in China.
hugs to you my friend,
