Token December Post

Sorry no updates lately. This will be the last update of 2007, I can say that much!

OK... Home study was finally completed about a week ago. Now we are awaiting our I-171 form from the USCIS. I don't know how long that will take to get here but hopefully not long. In the mean time we are going to be getting our other documents all ready to go (notarized). Which means that we are actually sort of seeing a little bit of the distant light at the end of this paperwork preparation tunnel!!

Not much other news to report, I'm afraid. I have heard that people are traveling pretty quickly after their dossier gets submitted. I don't know for sure though! We're still hoping to get to go around April or May or so.

Lately I've been thinking I need to find books to read about the details of child raising that I don't know. Like if we have a four year old... The other day I was thinking while crunching on a mint (quietly, for Jason's sake), "Can a four year old eat a mint? Is that a choking hazard? I wonder if Tristan and Cameron are allowed to chew gum or eat mints... When did I start chewing gum? Has the rule changed since then?" I know it sounds stupid... But I'm trying to think of the "The Things You Don't Think Of Till..." It seems like things like that would come naturally if you have a child from infancy on.

Where is the manual my parents wrote for me for when I have to do their job? This is where they get their revenge. Watching me wallow in my ignorance.

Wait a minute... I was the good kid! Why would they want revenge? There must be some other explanation. I will get to the bottom of this.
