Happy Chinese New Year!
Lots to celebrate this week:
1. After 13 years at his company, Steve gave his resignation on Monday. He will start with a new company on February 9th. He will go from managing 14 programs and about 50 employees to managing 1 program and 13 employees. A great and much needed change for him. The really cool thing is that when the CEO interviewed Steve, Steve noticed several photos hanging in this gentleman's office. The photos were of children of different ethnicities. After the interview, Steve inquired about the photos and the man said that he does work for World Vision. Very cool....we sponser a little girl named Somkit, through World Vision. She lives in Thailand. If this was any sign of the type of company this is, it will be a welcome change for Steve!
2. My Distiguished Service Award (see previous post).
3. Our application with Better Futures Adoption Services was approved and we can begin the process of bringing our little girl home.
4. It's Chinese New Year!
To celebrate all of these things, we decided to go to our favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner. The boys wanted to order off of the "adult" menu, and Caleb was determined to try the duck. Of course, his meal was the most expensive of all of ours, but he loved it. We all liked it. Caleb took the leftovers to school for lunch the next day. The funniest thing is that Emma kept saying, "I eat duckie"....I'm sure she was thinking of one of her bathtub duckies. Fortunatly this "duckie" was not rubbery, like the bathtub duckies.
Happy New Year!
