Not too much going on with adoption as far as paperwork, we had our fingerprints done Friday for USCIS to have the FBI check our backgrounds. In the past three years we have had our fingerprints done 4 times each for adoptions and had countless background checks because they usually pull a background check at the beginning of the process, in the middle and again at the end just to make sure. So now we are just waiting on approval from our government saying we are approved to adopt then I will drive to Austin again to get the last few papers apostilled for dossier and send them over to our team in the kids country. That way as soon as their country re opens after the holidays over there we can be submitted to them and just wait for a travel date. We are praying really hard it will be an earlier date but it just depends on how many files are ahead of ours in the stacks they will receive! Hopefully we will travel mid February that way we will be there for Masha's 14th birthday in early March:) The boys new room is finally complete now we just have to play musical rooms with the kids and move all the furniture and junk. Other than all that we are just trying to get ready for Christmas and all the activities that happen at this time of year like school parties, office parties and birthday stuff since Jared and I both have December birthdays. In fact tomorrow is Kaeden's Christmas party at Mother's Day Out and Ashlyn's class party at school and lunch with parents at school so I have a full day tomorrow! I did get a video message today from Masha though! Some friends are in her country and just adopted their daughter while they were visiting Masha's orphanage they took the video for us. It was really great to "see" her again and hear her voice. I miss hearing her say Crystal with her accent! lol Anyway I'll leave you with some pics of Kaeden and Savannah, Ashlyn doesn't like her picture taken anymore especially if she knows I'm posting it on face book or something!!!
