The end of the paperchase (for now!)

For the last 2 months, we have been working on 2 amendments to our Peruvian dossier. One was a minor change and the other was a major, 12-page amendment. I am happy to report these documents are DONE. Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Our agency just reported that they were expedited to Peru today!

Once in Peru, they will be translated, and then submitted to the Adoption Bureau down there. In the meantime, we wait for APPROVAL!!!!!!!! After Approval, we are still looking at over a year's wait...but one step at a time. Approval is on the horizon...we hope and pray!

A few pictures...


Marcella with her new 5-month old friend "Baby Chicako". If you look really close at this picture, you can tell that Baby Chicako is a SUPER SMART baby, as she is wearing a Brewers onesie!!!!!!!!


A glimpse of Marcella's first Dentist appointment! She did stellar, and came away with a bag of teeth-cleaning goodies.
Below---Mar, the Candy Girl! George's store donated a ton (literally) of candy for the Troops. This pix was taken on candy-delivery day! The candy sat in our house for about a month, and amazingly, it all remained intact?!?!?!
