Some things

Briefly...

We are so close to having Joseph with us now. We still have a few things we hope to have done before he comes, but we are putting the finishing touches on Jay's class, he should turn his grades in tomorrow. We have to give the school back a little more than $100 for the visas for Audriana and Vikki - we ended up taking out a loan from the school, rather than pay for it up front. It wasn't until recently that we found out that we could take money out of our U.S. funds directly. Although our budget is not functioning as we would like, we have not yet had to take money out of U.S. funds - which is nice. We will have to do that for the baby! Good news is that it will be very cheap comparatively. Only 5,000rmb is expected (barring no complications). That is not even $1,000 U.S.

Christmas was great! It was such a blessing to have Grammy with us. Still hope to get pictures up, but it is looking more bleak! You should e-mail us if you'd like pictures to put some pressure on Vikki. =)

Blessings!
