The civil registry held their promise our birth certificate was just picked up. So now on to the next step. What is the next step you ask???? Well as we speak they are submitting the birth certificate to be translated into English this should be ready to pick up tomorrow afternoon or Monday morning. Then they have to apply for Meredith's passport which could take 24-72 hours to return. Then it is on to the embassy to wait for PINK!!!! Keep in mind all those crazy days the embassy is closed in the next 2 weeks. So we could find out our appointment next week or the following week. I still feel like we won't travel till after Easter. But hoping for a awesome surprise. Oh Rebecca got her birth certificate too today, so Zachary is now officially a Steen. As it appears right now we will get to be in Guatemala together!!! COME ON PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe that its been 2 years since my mom, my sister, and I traveled to Guatemala to bring home our precious little girl. We are celebrating Gotcha day this year with a trip to the Newport Aquarium. Meredith is very excited to see the fishy's and pingins (Penguins). Here are a few pictures from Easter weekend, I will post more from tomorrow's trip on Sunday. Meredith is coloring her first Easter Eggs. Meredith on Easter morning seeing what the Easter Bunny left her. How did all that fit in that bucket? The duck was not in there it was from a trip to Walmart with Mamaw and Papaw a couple weeks ago, it goes everywhere Meredith does. Here is Meredith at Mamaw's on Easter Sunday. You can see a little bit of baby Blake and CaCa in the background. This is the dress that Aunt Ib gave here she loves it.
WE ARE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES We are officially out of PGN. Meredith is legally our's. We don't have all the details yet, but they said we would be traveling in 6-8 weeks, although it should be much sooner. I can't believe that this day has finally come. Thanks to everyone for their support.
