Happy Birthday present to me from the CCAA in China! We got our Letter of Confirmation today. This means that we are really really official now. They have looked at all of our paperwork and they approve the adoption. Now we are waiting for our travel approval. This usually takes 3-5 weeks. But the first week of October is a holiday in China and everything is closed down, so we will lose a week maybe two because of that. We hoping now we will have her by Christmas.
By the way, tomorrow is the Moon Festival celebration in China. "The Chinese Moon Festival is coming soon! The Moon Festival, or Mid-Autumn Festival, is one of the most important holidays celebrated in China. It is held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month and this year falls on September 25. The festival is a time for families to get together for moon gazing parties. Traditionally, families stay up late and watch the moon rise, light lanterns, have a big family dinner, and eat moon cakes. " -quote from our weekly newsletter from WACAP. It sounds like fun!

I see Harvest Moon party sundaes in your future. A combination of old and new traditions for your family!
Sorry, I meant to say Chinese Moon Festival sundaes! They will have to be bigger and better than just the regular full moon sundaes.
Great idea on the Chinese Moon Fstival Sundaes. Kyle and I watched the moon for a little while last night and I talked to him about the Chinese tradition
