Well, our paperwork is officially finished! The homestudy was approved, so we took a short trip to Yakima in mid-October to submit our application for our 171H (immigration approval). This last piece of paper is like gold--it's confirmation from the US government that if everything in China is as presented here at home, they will give Logan a visa to enter the US. This piece frequently takes the longest to get, but ours was relatively quick. It arrived here about 4 weeks after application, so we felt pretty good. Thanks to an AWESOME courier, it was quickly authenticated and sent to the agency. They have everything all ready to go and will let us know after the Thanksgiving holiday exactly what day our dossier left for China. Now comes the hard part: WAITING!! But, with all the other guys, and basketball season upon us, it should go quickly.
And those other guys are keeping us plenty busy. In October, just after my last update, Emily hurt her knee playing volleyball. Several trips to the doctor later, she's scheduled for surgery on December 6 to repair a torn meniscus in her left knee. No basketball for her this year, but volleyball next fall has a green light. Please pray for a quick recovery for her.
Basketball season is upon us, and for the first time we find ourselves with only ONE player! Pretty amazing, all things considered, but Brent's not playing this year, Emily can't because of her knee, and Victoria will play during the middle school girls season, which starts in February. So only Hailey is playing right now. She made the varsity squad and is having a blast with that. Last night was "Red and White Night" a big intrasquad scrimmage and all-school spaghetti feed on campus. In the first 90 seconds of her game, Hailey dislocated her finger and spent the rest of the evening in the ER. Hopefully it does not become a swift end to a very short season... Other than those minor hitches, life is good. :)
