Yesterday was a big day. I mailed out all paperwork required by our home study agency and most of the paperwork for our adoption agency. It was so nice to see my little file box empty--at least for a little while. Our dossier is almost complete. We have a couple of things to do: passport photos for forms, pictures of the family...but mostly we are just waiting for our home study to be complete and then the coveted I-171H--the lovely form that everyone so eagerly waits for from USCIS. Then onto translation, authentication and sent to Vietnam. I'd love to be DTV (Dossier To Vietnam) before the end of the year--I shouldn't place a time frame on things that are out of my hands...but it's good to be positive, right? We're so proud to be "almost done" with paperwork...in just under 6 weeks!
By the way, I found this really neat site that I'm sure a lot of you will be interested in.
BLURB allows you to turn your blog into a hardcover book printed on archival paper! Prices are fairly reasonable...especially since a lot of us put so much time and energy into our blogs! I've already mentioned to hubby that I would love this for Christmas. I plan to "book" my blogs every year. So how cool is that!!??? I am so excited about this product and can't wait to see what it'll look like! :o)

YEAH! I remember that day! I wanted to throw a party!
Turning your blog into a book looks really neat, especially for an adoption keepsake. Very nice. Thanks for sharing the link.
Hi Kate,
Love your blog! Thanks for visiting mine. I am going to remember BLURB...I wondered if there was any way to do that. Thanks! Anna
I love this booked blog idea..hmmm?? I was just telling my husband I wasn't sure what I wanted for Christmas!! :o) Oh and we got the Canon Rebel XTi 10.0 megapixel. It does have a lot of buttons but we are just using the same few until we figure it all out. When I say we, I mean Brandon. He can read the manual and discern what to do. I am more hands on so he will learn and teach me. I might even take a class! We found the best price at Sams. I highly recommend it. The picture quality is GREAT. Oh and did I say the pictures are GREAT? I can't wait to photograph Marlee with it!!!
So I think I have just figured this out....are you an OO family? we have commented on each others blogs a few times and I guess I didn't realize we
shared the same agency! I really like the book idea an have been thinking of doing something similar. Fantastic news on being so close to all your paperwork being done!!
