Trip #3 to USCIS...Accomplished!

We have already been to downtown Cincinnati and back...and it's still Tuesday morning! But we rejoice in the completion of our third trip to the USCIS office to be refingerprinted! Yay!!!

Our trip began very early this morning. I was awake before 4 am with Tim and Rachel rising a few minutes later. We left home around 5:30 am and went through rain and fog for awhile. But we got into Cincinnati with no trouble, parked in the nice garage right across from the Federal Building and met more kind people who made our trip enjoyable. Even the cuts on Tim, Rachel and my hands were healed enough to satisfy the computer scanning and that's a sigh of relief, too! Now...I would like to tell you that our journey out of Cincinnati was "surprise free"...but let's just say that we took the "scenic route." :) One turn in a different direction can definitely do that! But we found our way back to Kentucky quite easily and are safely back home. Micah got off to school with no problems, (except for lots of texting back and forth to Cincy), and it's certainly been another day of blessings.

Many thanks to all of you for your continued prayers, thoughts, love, support and excitement as we continue this amazing journey!

Yes...we are definitely one step closer to our sweet baby girl/s and we are truly thankful. Hold on, sweet baby girl/s...it's only Tuesday and we're 24 months past LID...and refingerprinted for the third time. Ohhhhhh, we're getting so very close to holding you in our arms and bringing you home. Hold on, sweetie/s...you are so much a part of our lives and it's only the beginning!
Grateful for another step in our journey of blessings....
Terri & Family

One day closer... she'll/they'll be here before you know it! And... WON'T IT BE FUN???? I wonder if they'll like to eat at China House when they are older (like 4 years old or something)? Ha. I can see it now! I can't wait.
Love ya.
