Update - new pics

OK, things here have been hectic. As you can tell since it's been 3 weeks since my last post.

My '2nd job' is taking off and keeping me busier than I expected. Lucky for me a girl can never have to many purses - bags or accessories :) This is great - since we're hoping to earn enough to cover our airfare. We are just about 1/2 way there - (taking longer than expecting, considering the fuel prices) We have been busy getting in the last of our camping for the year. Just this weekend yet and then maybe once in October if we're daring..... Can get pretty cold in the Northwoods :) In addition to that we had to have our home study redone because it is expiring in September. Before we can travel it needs to be updated. In addition, our fingerprints will need to be redone since they are only valid through November. Odds are we won't be traveling before that so we'll be making another trip to Minneapolis. (darn another trip to Mall of America - - hehehe)

As for good news - we got another round of surprising pictures. He's our little guy at 6 months!

Pictures! New pictures....

I was so surprised to open my mail this morning and find new pictures of our little man! Well not so little. We really didn't expect any pictures until September, when hopefully some of these families will be traveling to pick-up their little one. But luckily there was an Adoptive Father who was traveling on business, and agreed to take some snapshots for everyone. Who ever you are THANK YOU! I think I may be in trouble in my thought of clothing size. Hopefully, we'll get weight and height updates soon.

To India It Goes!

Talk about record time, our acceptance paperwork was overnighted yesterday and received at Dillons office this morning. We just go word that it's back on a plane headed for India. Bring on NOC. We've been told it coud be 2-4 months just for this part - - so pray it goes quickly!

It's Off!

Our acceptance paperwork is finally on it's way. Delay completely my own fault, for letting our medical documents expire. However, thanks to a fabulous Dr. we got everything completed 2 weeks ahead of their first option!!!! Praise God for that. Now the daily wait begins for new pictures and/or updates.

Weekend of celebration

This past weekend was a lot of fun (sorry this took so long to post - God decided I should experience morning sickness - in some form or fashion, to celebrate Dreyden - so now is the first time I was able to get to the computer :0)

First we spent the day shopping - Wow! Lots of fun stuff for Dreyden and of course some for Ahly too (I have quite a shopper on my hands)- I may have to post some pictures (just for Kristie - haha) We then went to "Build a Bear" for the first time. Ahly got to make herself a little puppy dog named - what else - SNOOPY! Then she also got to make something for her baby brother. She picked out the softest teddy bear. Which is absolutely adorable. I promise to post a picture of the bear for Dreyden and Ahly soon.

Then we met up with another ISRC family at an Indian Restaurant. Anya and her Mom and Dad (Nancy and Peter) live only 1 1/2 hours away and have a great shopping mall (compared to where we are). They brought their daughter home in December of last year. We met them just about a year ago while they were waiting to bring Anya Rashi home. It was great to be able to tell them our story and hopefully bring some peace into their lives while they waited. Here are some pictures from the visit.
