OK OK we are not the Scrooges after all.

We kinda got in the Christmas mood today. We decided to put the tree up and wrap some presents. So here is a couple of pictures.

I heard back from the agency today and the Guatemala attorney did get our documents yesterday and took them to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Now it will take about 3 weeks for them to be processed, then we can enter PGN. We are hoping and praying for a short stay in PGN, but no one really knows how long we will be in this final stage.

I just keep telling myself this is the last major step before Meredith can come home, and so what if we miss the first Christmas there will be others and I know Marina will take lots of pictures for me. We do know that Meredith did get her ears pierced about a week ago, can't wait to see those.

Well I guess that's it for now, I'm working on some photo albums to take with us to Aunt Lib's this weekend.

So glad you had something to update with :)
Your photo's of the tree and the two of you are great!
Praying too that it will be in the PGN and the quickly be ready so maybe you will be bringing home Princess Meredith soon after the first of the year!
A great reason to leave that tree up! :)

Praying hard for you both to be strong, for God's grace for you both to remain positive and patient.
Remember:
"All good things come to those who wait on the Lord"

I too am quite excited to see Meredith's pics with her ears pieced.

PS: you CAN leave your Tree up... if it is artificial as you can decorate it with whatever you chose...

When Madison was a baby, (3 wks before Christmas) We decorated the tree with everything 'baby' bibs, rattles etc... great tree and memories :)

Busy Busy Weekend..

Well Todd and I have had a very busy weekend. Ever since we found out that Meredith is here we've been going in overdrive. As you can see we finished up the nursery this weekend. We will put the changing table together sometime this week, the crib was challenge enough for one day. Oh and the border (that one piece deal didn't work too good Becky). Oh and Todd says if he sees one more thing Hello Kitty, he's going to hurl. hahaha But anyway the room is painted, the border hung, and the crib is put together. The only thing that's missing is Meredith!!! We haven't heard anything else since Tuesday, I'll try to get some more information this week, but it's doubtful that the agency will know anything new. They said we would get our next round of pictures in about 5 weeks.

We've made it past the 7 week mark....

how many more to go??? That's the million dollar question. We are just sitting and wondering when will we get out. We are still hoping and praying for a previo free stay in PGN. I find myself hitting the send/receive button on my email every couple of minutes, and ever time my cell phone rings my heart drops. This waiting is almost unbearable. But everyone tells me that NO news is GOOD news where PGN is concerned. On a down note, my friend Keely found out yesterday that she received a previo on Friday for something totally ridiculous. But thankfully she went right back in that day. As for our weekly update, it was the same as it has been for 7 weeks. We are still in PGN waiting for approval.
