Re-adoption Status

We are almost done with our re-adoption. I received the waiver from the DHS and now need the Adoption Decree to be signed by a judge. Once that is complete, I can apply for the new birth certificate with Pearl's American name and our names as the parents. Probably just two more weeks and we will be DONE!

We have been going to swim class every night. Carli is swimming like a fish but Pearl wants nothing to do with it. Hopefully one day she will realize the water can be fun!

Long time, no write...






















I have been negligent in my posting responsibilities. I just got back from a week's worth of work travel. The week went great. I enjoyed the work and being "kid-less". It was a much needed respite from my daily life.

One night while I was away, Carli reported to me that daddy was being "very bad". During dinner he was reading a magazine and looking at girls in bikinis. Carli's answer to this problem was "Mom, let's you and I move to Spain. It will be marvelous!" I like the way she thinks.

Carli is out of school for the summer. Pearl is talking like crazy and is saying "please" and "thank you" in all the right places. I am hoping for a fun and relaxing summer mixed in with some work. It certainly feels like summer to me!
