We have our travel approval!
We now have our concrete travel dates! We will be leaving for China on August 27th--only 26 days from now! We have our U.S. Consulate appointment in Guangzhou on September 8th and will return home with our whole family on September 10th. Anita is so excited she was skipping into the kitchen this morning!
