Nufin' yet...

We're still waiting to hear if our file has been approved and transferred to the pick-up window.

And we're still waiting to see if I can leave to spend time with the boys. Our dilemma now is that Mason graduates June 12th and we have no idea when our Visa appointment will be.

Most folks are running about 4-6 weeks out of PGN to get their Visa appointment. Sooooooooo, once we're OUT of PGN we need to see how fast our lawyer can get new birth certficates (with our names as the parents on them!!) and then get our file submitted to the US EMbassy so that they can schedule our Visa apoointment.

So, I may be leaving in about 2 weeks and bringing them home by June 10th OR we will be leaving June 13th (day after graduation) and bringing them home at some point after that.

For those of you who were with me back in November and December when we waited forever for the DNA tests, I have re-introduced my nightly regimen of Tums and Nyquil. ;-) That resulted in a kidney stone attack in January, so I'm really hoping to kick the habit here soon. So far - it's only been the last 2 nights!

Happy Mother's Day Weekend!!

We got new pictures and video on Friday. Looks like Austin and Logan skipped walking and went right to running! On the video all you see is two little boys zooming in and zooming out of range of the camera's lens! They look incredibly healthy and happy!

Here they are with their adorable foster mother...

We also heard that Barrios signed our file, but we have not heard the Magic "OUT" word, yet. Hopefully next week, we will be OUT of PGN and our lawyer will start working on getting Austin and Logan's new birth certificates right away!

Do you know who's who yet in the pictures? Logan is on the left.....Austin on the right!

New pics and video

My mother's Day gift - New pictures and videos! Our Babies are RUNNING! ;-) they skipped over walking! Both boys look wonderful and healthy. It was a bittersweet moment to have new pictures and to be able to see them, but then we really mourned all that we've missed in their first year of life. We just never thought we'd be this long without them. Each day without them, each minute, each breath we take is one day, is one more minute, is one more breath of life spent without them - but it is also, one more day, one more minute, and one more breath that brings us closer to having them in our arms forever!

I know it's coming

If this is my labor, I feel like I've been taking those quick little pants for the last day and 1/2, "izs, izs, izs.....swhooo. izs, izs, izs.....swhooo"

Have a happy day, all! I'll be back soon with good news!
