Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Chinese New Year!





Valentine's Day is a special day to celebrate, especially for a hopeless romantic like me. I've always fallen hard for this occasion (people say it's not a holiday) because we always need an excuse to celebrate love. And in the dead of winter, who doesn't like some lovely red roses and heart decorations around the house?

Here are some pics of Ms. sassafras after her preschool party yesterday, bathing in a sea of candy and special Valentine's cards from her friends.

Also, check out the picture from our little artist - a beautiful smiley face. We are such proud parents, at every tiny little milestone. It doesn't take much to get us excited in this house!

On the paperwork front, on Monday, 2/8/10, we received the letter from the National Visa Center. I mailed it to our agency on Tuesday, 2/9/10, and hopefully this upcoming week, the agency can mail the DS-230 (Visa paperwork) to our contact in China for processing. So the tiny baby steps continue in this long process. It will be worth it to have that precious boy. With the Chinese New Year in full swing now, it is looking like we may get our travel approval in early to Mid March. After that, we can travel 2-5 weeks later. So, at this point, it is looking like a late March/early April departure. We shall see.

So, Happy Valentine's Day! And Happy Chinese New Year! I am so very lucky that I am married to the love of my life. Yes, I am a sappy one....
