Two down, one to go!

Well, yesterday we received our passports and visas, so we can check that off the list!  Today we received notice of our ICPC approval!  Our caseworker at Dillon checked on Micah's passport and it is not ready yet, so we will continue to wait for that one pesky little piece of paperwork.  

We are still going to try to shoot for leaving on the 14th, but we can't purchase the tickets till we have the passport approval in hand.  At least I am going to try to have all of our adoption education requirements done, all of our forms filled out, copied, and ready to go, all of our orphanage donations gathered, Micah's clothes, diapers, etc. purchased, and have the boys room ready to go.  I just want to be ready in case his passport approval comes in time.  If not, we will just go the next weekend, but I'm going to hope for the 14th and pray for patience and a quiet spirit.  Can you tell I am starting to feel restless for the first time? :)  Ok, maybe not for the first time, but who's counting.

If this is the first time you've felt restless, you've done amazingly well! Hoping for a Valentine's day departure.

What a thrill to know that you're so close! I bet your heart is racing every time the phone rings, or a new e-mail pops up. :o)

Can't wait to follow along as you meet your son!
