More Grants & Our Own Visa Applications

We have applied for two more grants in the past week through the Gift of Adoption and the National Adoption Foundation.  Luke and I have also been working on a fundraising letter and plan to mail those after Thanksgiving.  I'll post it on here as well in case there is anyone that would like to see what we've paid, raised and been awarded at this point-it also outlines the remaining costs and travel expenses.

We have decided to go ahead and apply for our own Visas to enter to China at this time and expect to have those in a matter of weeks-we want to be ready and waiting.  We're looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, celebrating all that we have to be thankful for and telling even more friends and family members about Noah.

Here's the picture Bethel shared last week on Facebook in case anyone missed it-Noah and his buddy out in a boat.
