We also got updated measurements of Ren. He's approximately 32 lbs and 35 inches tall. His feet are 15.5 cm long.
I'm waiting to chat with our coordinator to get an idea of when we might travel. It's possible it could be in mid to late February so that's what I'm hoping for! In any event, it won't be long now. Yahoo!
By the way, I love that this happened on the 5th of the month. It seems to be a very lucky day on our adoption path:
- we were logged in for Claire on September 5 (2005);
- we met Claire on February 5 (2007);
- we were logged in for Ren on March 5 (2008); and
- we received our LSC - today, yahoo! - on January 5.

So smart of you to take the camera!! YEAAAAAAAHHHHH! OMG we're so excited for you! There's that 5 again! I think we signed our referral thing on Dec. 5 so we have another 5 in ours too. (or was it the 7th??) Whatever. I think you'll be with C and M for sure now. I'm soooo envious....have I mentioned that before (for the trip part) I have enough with my 2 already:)
Oh, I'm sighing with relief now that that is another thing off the list. How exciting. In a few months our playdates will be for three. Good thing we have that train set now:)
Hooray for you guys.
Such good news. Ren will be with his family soon.

Hello Monica,
Look at a ruler and see how large 15.5 cm feet would be! I think someone added a few cm to his feet! Maybe don't buy him any shoes just yet...

Congratulations! That is very exciting news. I love the red thread connection with the number five. Wouldn't it be funny if you were back in China in February?
YAY! YAY! I can't believe it was another 5th -- how amazing is that?! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for travel ASAP (with C&M, of course!) but it would be so cool if you met Ren on March 5th.
So happy for you all!
Love,
Rae, Girard and Bryn
Happy Happy Happy!!! Congratulations. We are so thrilled for your family and that you are one step closer to being together.
