Still Here

We are still here in IL. Well, I am still here with Olivia. Brian went back to TX after court last Monday so he could save the rest of his time to use on the backend when I return to work. My Mom flew in for the week but she had to go back Sunday. We thought I would have been out of here last Friday. So here I sit, still waiting for clearance from TX to return with Olivia. (By the way, I have a new found respect for single parents.) The whole process is a little rediculous. I just found out that is was easier for someone who lives in another country to adopt an American child. Apparently they only have to go to court, get a temporary passport, and leave. I just talked to the TX office and they have not even received our paperwork from IL. :( Looks like it will be at least Wed now before I am outta here. OK, enough of the ranting and raving. Here are some recent pics of our baby girl.


Holding her own bottle already! OK, so it just for a minute or so, but still impressive!

She's such a cutie!! We're still here in PA too, but hopefully will get to leave by Friday. The paperwork is in Harrisburg, so we just have to wait for them to sign off, and then we can leave. I'm sorry you are there by yourself!:( If only we could come visit, that would be great. Stinking ICPC!! Hopefully you will get good news and get to leave soon!

Jen,
She is so cute. I am always around if you have any questions. It is still fresh in my mind.
