Spring Break!

My spring break officially starts Monday. No big plans here. I would like to do major cleaning throughout the house. I did the boys' closets and dressers this weekend. So that is a start. Why does the kitchen always look like a dumping ground?

Fingerprint Appointment!!

Well the Central Registry has not come back yet, but I did get a little letter from Homeland Security. Homeland Security! Why am I so excited?? We have our fingerprint appointment in Detroit the middle of April. Baby steps baby steps!! Please don't ask how much longer, I simply do not know. I am just happy to be progressing.

Central Registry

Here's to hoping that the central registry comes back this week. (March 23 is week 4 and March 30 is week 5) I was told it takes 4-5 weeks to come back. So I will keep my fingers crossed...

Acknowledgement

March 3 I frantically FedExed my homestudy update (still waiting on the central registry to be done--should be at the end of March) to Texas for immigration. Today I got a letter acknowledging that they got the info and to verify that my name and address were correct. Not big news to anyone but me.

I roughly did a timeline on how much longer and really it is just a guess. I hope to be able to travel in June or the latest July. It is all out of my hands. I think an updated picture of Mia would help ease the wait. (I don't have one, or I would share it.)

My fellas

I snapped this picture the other day of the boys playing. It is one of my favorites. Chandler (11), Carter (7), and Christian (4).

Birthday #7!

Carter turned 7 a couple of weeks ago. On his actual birthday we had cake, ice cream and his choice for dinner. This weekend we had the party with family and friends. A good time was had by all! :)
