I'll have to try tomorrow. It won't let me post pics. Sandy

Hi all,

All is well here. We did here from the Embassy that all was "on track", it's just slowed down because of the new I600 changes. They assure us that it will be between 2 and 7 days. It sounds like a lot, but just having a time and not wondering is helpful. The kids are helping by taking care of things at home and Shonna stayed up til 2am giving me a list of bills that need to be paid so I can do that on line.

Jack is doing great, happy as ever. Is eating rice cereal now and drinking 6oz bottles. Still up at midnight and 4am, but that won't take long to change, especially once we are home and he has his own room. He is even sitting up on his own for one to two minutes at a time. He has found his tongue and loves to stick it out. A lot! Heres some recent pics. Talk to you soon. Sandy and Randy

Update

Hi All, I'm just sitting in the hotel room filing my nails. JK. Can you believe we are still here? Tomorrow will be two weeks from our first Embassy appointment. Thats all we are waiting for....just that second appointment and Jack's Visa. They say they don't forsee any problems, they just have a lot of paper work. Pray for Jeannette though, she has to stay another three weeks to redo fingerprints. She is in good spirits and continuing to get out and see the sights. You have to understand from my point of view that doing the I600 in the US has to be a good thing. Nothing else new, just waiting, and waiting. It's difficult to make any plans when you don't want to go anywhere and miss a call. I really can't think of anything else I want to see. We're done shopping! Jack is great. Seems to haven gotten over his UTI and the yucky meds. I've attached a couple pics. It's our first attempt at gel on the hair. Remember, we're working with what we've got. Miss you all! Sandy and Randy

PS: We've been here so long Jack can almost sit up on his own and is just starting to teeth. Hopefully he won't be shaving before we see you.

This is try #3 to get the pics up. Another thing I miss, DSL and the english language. Sandy

Flight delay

Sorry I haven't written for awhile. Jack's been sick and we've just been dealing with that. I forgot how anxious you can become when something is wrong with your baby. They can't tell you what it is, so it feels like it's all on you. God knew and revealed it to us and all is well. It is Wed. afternoon and we just heard that there is no way we'll get our Visa in time to keep our scheduled flight so that is being changed, but I don't know what to change it to at this time. They feel like we could fly out this weekend, UGH, it sounds so far away. As lovely as these people are, I'm just ready for the familiar; family, home, pets, friends, church, neighbors, STARBUCKS, SOY CREAMER, oatmeal, home cooked meals, Oh my bed, driving with a seat belt on, Italian food, you get the picture. I look forward to cleaning, laundry, groceries, paying bills, cooking. I'm really ready. Here are a couple pics of Jack. The first one is Jack sitting up, the second is jack falling over because he can't do that, the third is him stretching. He loves to stretch. Talk to you soon. Sandy and Randy
