While away in Chicago, we received Preapproval and new pics





We went to Chicago this past weekend to visit with Bus' Great Aunt and Uncle! We had a wonderful time visiting with them and their family!! It was nice to be see them and enjoy their new beautiful home!






While there, we went into the city, and enjoyed going to the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, the Sears Tower, and the American Girl Store! It was such a busy day as we left for the city around 8:30 am, and didn't return till 10:00pm! It was a long day, but a wonderful day! If you've never been to Chicago, it is a must to go there! We really enjoyed our time there, and hope to go again some day! Definately when the kids are a little bit older! Ha ha!

Also, when we were away, we got news that we had received preapproval! Yipee! This is an important part of our adoption for Maya! It means we now wait to hear we are in PGN!! Once in PGN, we are in the final stretch of our adoption! It is the longest part of our adoption process, and the most important part! It will take about three months after we get into PGN, if all goes well! We are hoping for sooner, but realistically, it will probably be about 3 months! We also received new pics of Maya! Here are a couple! We are anxiously awaiting to hear good news, and can't wait to have her as a part of our family! Please keep us in your prayers as we wait for news!

Love, Sabra, Bus, Hannah, Caleb & Maya
