MOI purgatory

The closer it gets, the longer the wait. I just checked the yahoo group and others have been in MOI for 6 months. Evidentially they are now requiring some paper that Marie has to go get in Archives?! Something about, she's waiting until she has them all to turn them all in at one time. Anyway, it's slowing MOI down by 2 or 3 months. This is the gossip I have heard. As tomorrow is March 1st, I'm a little down because I thought the boys might be home by March. Once they are out of MOI, it should be another month (at least) to get passport and visa. I think I can kiss March good-bye for pick-up. I'm suddenly seeing my visions of going to the pool this summer, gymnastics, birthday parties all kind of dwindle. It's disappointing.
