Moving Up Day

Christian had a moving up ceremony for preschool this week. It was cute. He will go everyday to preschool next year for half a day. He likes it.

Katie was here...

I 800

I can do a little happy dance. This morning I sent my I 800 to CCAI via FedEx. They will get it tomorrow. What's the big deal you ask? Well once that form is submitted to USCIS, we travel 10-13 weeks later. Can I get an amen? :)

USCIS

UPDATE
I got an email from USCIS today, our renewal was approved on 5/5/10. YIPEE! Now we can start the official paperwork that goes towards travel!
******************************
I broke down and called USCIS today. I am assigned a case worker--good I guess. My call was put to his desk and I left a message. I was calling to just check in and make sure those precious documents I sent FedEx made it. Here's to hoping that he calls back tomorrow. :)

More tiny steps...

Officially all of my paperwork is now in Missouri for USCIS. That is such a HUGE relief to me. I was beginning to get my eye twitch back.

I am hoping to get my renewal stuff in the next two weeks; then praying for 2-3 months to get Mia. I am secretly hoping or 2 months.

We first saw her face around Thanksgiving, and have beeing waiting not so patiently ever since.

Soccer

This is Christian's first year for soccer. He was so excited to finally get to play like his brothers. He had his first game this weekend.

Fingerprints-done

We traveled to Detroit this morning for fingerprints. Painless! Per the home study agency the central registry will be back this week. YES! So folks hopefully next week we can start counting down to the next step in this paperwork train. Honestly I have done more paperwork for this adoption than I did for my Masters. ;)

Everyday I check my email in hopes of updated pictures of Mia. We wonder how much she has changed since the referral picture was taken. Maybe we will get some this month. The last update was from January and it was just measurments.
