Happy New Year

It is the beginning of Tet, the lunar New Year, and we did not receive our approval before the holiday as we were hoping. Now the embassy offices are closed through Thursday, and the Vietnamese aren't "really" back to work before 2/9. We were hoping to get quick approval so a G&R date could be set, so we're at least one week delayed. Now we're expecting approval next week and a G&R on the 16th or 17th of Feb. I start Feb. vacation 2/13, so that's pretty perfect timing actually, at least work-wise. Hopefully this is the last, and shortest, in a long line of delays we've had. Tomorrow marks day #200 since first seeing our daughter's face on July 11th. Thank goodness we didn't know then how long this would take, for I'd have lost my sanity completely (as opposed to only partially!)We'll be there just as soon as possible Bizou!!!
