Our Journey to Our Daughter: A little Early:-)

A little Early:-)

Well, we were hoping that our packet would be dropped off at the consulate for article 5 processing on Monday 3/28/11 or yesterday 3/31/11 at the latest... Well, I emailed Jenny Monday to see if it had been dropped off that day. She emailed me back Tuesday and informed me that it had actually been dropped off the Friday before 3/35/11.... What?!!! I was so excited. Finally, something working in descent time:) So we are just waiting to see when it gets picked up. As of right now, we are scheduled to have the article 5 picked up next Friday, April 8th!!! Then........ alll we wait for is travel approval from the CCAA so we can get our consulate appointment set up and get on that plane!!! Hold on baby girl, we are almost there:)) Keep praying!!! PLEASE!!!!!

Kisses In the Wind

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.

You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.

But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...

Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.

I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just for pretend.

But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.

And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
