No PGN news pictures

Well we have heard nothing from PGN ... So I guess no news is good news... I have very high hopes for next week though.. Until then here are some pictures of Jazlynn to hold you over for a while... Susan took these while we were in Guatemala... I love them.. She is just to cute.

FFFF

Well since I don't do the Fav Foto Friday.. Thought I would post a Fav Foster Father Friday!
Today is Jazlynn's Foster Fathers Birthday.. (Can't tell you how old..he is bigger than me...lol)
But we can say .. We hope you have a great day Jose.. You deserve it.. We Love you and miss you..
We'll be seeing you soon. This picture was taken when I returned her last week.. Jazlynn is such a happy baby.. It makes it very obvious she is well loved..
I love this picture,, It was taken at the party for their 25th Anniversary.

This is my fav picture of them.. It was taken at the party as well... They are such a cute couple..
I think we have decided they are coming home with us when Jazlynn is ready.. So they better start packing now...

Anyway.. Just want to say Feliz Cumpleaños Jose.. Hope you have a great day.


Also just wanted to add. We found out today that we entered PGN on March 11th. So I will have to put a ticker on the page so we can keep track of how long it has been... Lets all hope for a fast stay.

Visit Trip

Well here they are.. Pictures of the little angel.. She is simply amazing.. She is happy all the time. She is so much more than I could ever have imagined. I also had a great roommate while I was there. We had a very enjoyable time. I will post another post about my Foster parents later. They are by far the greatest. For now enjoy the pics..

I am here!!!! Finally!!!

Well after a 24 hour nightmare to get here.. I am finally here. We had horrible weather in my town and then even worse weather in Detroit. The 2 hour drive to the airport took me 5 hours.. I then got stuck, in the snow, in the parking lot, missed my first flight. Was put on a second flight two hours later only to have the plane get stuck, in the snow. We were then delayed two hours ,had to be de-iced and just as we were headed to the runway we had a medical emergency on board. so.. needless to say I missed my connecting flight in Texas. They could not get me out until 7 pm.. That flight was then delayed 1 and a half hours because someone loaded the wrong luggage.. So exactly 24 hours after I left home at midnight I arrived at my hotel. Adriana brought me Jazlynn at 9:30 this morning. and as you may have guessed.. She is perfect. The happiest baby. It just amazes me. She may have only gained one pound since I was here last but MAN has she grown. So without further delay here she is...

She has the most beautiful eyes..

And this smile speaks for its self.. She is so happy to see Mommy..

And you know after my whole ordeal getting here.. Can you guess what the first thing is Joe says to me when I call home... You guessed it... WE HAVE PA...... Our file is now completely ready for PGN... YES.. BRING IT ON!!! We are so ready.

Winter Wonderland!!!!

We woke up this morning to a horrible storm AGAIN.. I think we are getting used to them. My children didn't even get up to see if they were delayed or not they just assumed... At the rate we are going we will be going to school in July still. We have delayed for tomorrow already and I really believe we will cancel again.

This is taken from the front porch at around 9 am this morning. Before the storm was over.
The snow was so heavy and wet that it has stuck to the trees like glue.. It is really quite beautiful. Bandar would say But only in picture Mom. He loved the snow in Saudi Arabia. But hates it now that he has experienced it for real...

This is my car. Looks ok huh? Nope. It was stuck right there in the middle of the road. wasn't even in the snow much. But boy was it icy. I had to go get Joe to get it out for me. Then I had to listen to a 10 min lecture of why I should have taken the TRUCK... I hate the truck. Although we did have to use it to pull me out. It was really stuck. This car was a present from my neighbors and I absolutely love it. But... It is not a snow car.

This is the famous truck... Who drives something this big? Thats crazy. I'll stick to my car and he can just drive this to get me out. lol

I just added this picture to show you all the pure torture poor Bandar has to go through. He comes home from college every weekend . This is what they do to him. He is such a great kid.

So Jose.. After these picture.. Do you and Adriana still want to come to Ohio?

There is no adoption news except that someone received a PA at 55 days today.. so that is a couple weeks sooner than they were coming in. Senator Brown is to get ahold of me tomorrow he is trying to help mine along guess we'll see.. We are at day 38 today.

Family Court Approval!!

YES!!! We heard from the agency today that we received Family Court Approval on Feb.11th . Now all we need is Pre-Approval from the US Embassy in Guatemala. Then... We can tackle "The Black Hole" PGN. Our Attorney has a wonderful history of very quick PGN stays. I also know some people stay in for months. But I so hope that is not our case. So I am now going to start writing my letters to get the embassy to speed up. Without that we are looking at the end of March before we get approval.

COULD IT BE?

Yes it is! New pictures.. We were all starting to have Jazlynn withdraw here. And from the looks of the pictures she is now rolling over. YEA! She is getting to be such a big girl. I can not wait to see her in 14 days..



In other news: There is nothing new to report with the adoption. We are writing letters to our Senators now trying to see if they can help us speed up the Pre-Approval. But we are not expecting any news until late in March.

Randi Jo had a singing competition this past Saturday. She woke up with a sore throat and a horrible cough. But thanks to a good teacher and alot of cough syrup she scored a 1 on both her entries. a 1 is the highest you can get. So Good for her.

I on the other hand: Have been trying desperately to become the house UNO champ. Been trying for over a year. It is currently held by a 4 yr old in my daycare. and has been for over a year. Well the good news is... I finally beat him yesterday. To become champ you have to win 10 games at one sitting. whoever gets to 10 first wins. (his rules of course). Well after I won. all he could say.... I didn't have my back-up! Meaning the other boy, 8 years old who doesn't come until 3. Hmmm.... Do you think I have been getting cheated all this time? Hmmm... Naw.. couldn't be!

We also found out that Honda is sending Joe to Tennessee in March. He leaves the 10th. The day after I get home from Guatemala. So two weeks without seeing each other. Oh well.. could be worse I guess.. That is all the news here. Jose did send more pics but I'll save them for another day. I guess I should also say. He says he was never told not to talk with us. He has just been without internet. the agency still says different but Oh well....
