TA! TA! TA!

That's adoption lingo for Travel Approval!  We knew that it would be a fast turn around, but I'm not sure we were prepared for it to only be 3 weeks!  We got word on Wednesday, August 17th that China had approved us to travel and go get our girl!  We will leave on Wednesday, September 7th and arrive in Beijing on Thursday, September 8th which is Margot's 14 month birthday!   We will spend a few days sightseeing and then fly to Guangzhou where we will meet Margot.  They haven't told us what day we get her yet, but I'm hoping for Monday!  In the meantime we've been continuing our work on her room.  Finally got out the sewing machine and got her curtain valance done - Yay no more A clamps!  Also, check out the great rocking chair that Chris got for all of us.  You knew it would be something modern, right?

Finally getting these pics up here.  Chris and I picked out this decal from Etsy to hang over her crib. These are great because you order it with the colors you want and it's easy to take it down when someone wants to hang a rock band poster there instead!  (I try not to think about the fact that she will be a teenager someday)  For those wondering, yes, gray is the paint color we are using.  As much as I love pink, we didn't want to go too over the top with a room that screamed BABY or PINK!
