She's not my friend; she's my sister!

If you keep up with the OurJourneytoFour blog, you'll know that our family is one step closer to gaining a new member!  We learned today that we received our Letter of Approval.  That's about 1-3 months faster than we were being told.  We were thinking our travel would definitely occur over summer vacation.  Nope... now it looks like we'll go during the school year.  Maybe May!  I'm personally hoping for early May in the hopes that my dad can travel with us.  

Today was a busy day of doctor visits (CT scan for me trying to figure out my mysterious abdominal pain and a doctor checkup for Reagan).  During one of the long driving trips today, I was talking to Tommy.  I said, "Tommy, did you know that we are going to go get Gracelynn soon?"  (Bad idea... 3 year olds have no concept of time and thus "soon" means today.)  He responded, "We go get her today?"  I told him no, not for a few weeks, but it's much quicker than we thought.  I tried once again to get him to understand that this little playmate is here to stay and will live with us.  So I said, "When she comes to live with us, you two can play games together and go on the playground out back."  He got excited about that.  Then I said, "You two will be good friends."  He said, "No mommy.  Gracelynn not my friend.  She's my sister."  :-)
