Meriah Carey has it right!

"I don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just one thing I need.
I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree.
I just want you for my own. More than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true. All I want for Christmas is you."

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving....giving thanks that my boys are VERY close to coming home. I was sad that yet again, anyone under 35 qualifies for the kid table. So, it was John, Cyrus, me and Violet. I need to get these 2 boys home so we have a real kid table! That, and so Violet won't have to play with the dog. That, and so my boys can experience a FEAST!

BOTH BOYS HAVE PASSPORTS!!!!

I haven't seen them with my eyeballs, but that's the word on the street!

Missing Erickson and Lovekender. My thoughts are constantly drifting to them. I can't wait for them to play with Violet and I can't wait to hug them and hold them. It's been eleven months since we left them in Haiti. I didn't dream it would be this long before we would see them again. I hope they love their new home here. I just want to be on a plane, heading for Haiti.

You have GOT to be kidding me!!

I found out today, that not only do the boys not have visa appointments, they DON'T even have passports yet. The reason.....HAITI RAN OUT OF PASSPORT BOOKS.

New shipment of passport books (supposedly) arrives today. Printing (supposedly) begins tomorrow and then Monday is ANOTHER holiday in Haiti and then MAYBE next week, they will have their passports.

Boys WILL NOT be home for Thanksgiving.

Immigration

BOTH boys are now in immigration waiting for passports!

50% success

Erickson should get his passport tomorrow or the next day! We are still waiting on Lovekender's name to be given to Immigration. (Hopefully within a week.) I hung the Haitian flag on our house today. Feeling like it is so close!
