Some Quick Updates

1.  Our court dossier has been sent to Katie's country!  What does this mean?  It means that we should get a faster court date once we've made our first trip.  Having the documents already there should mean less time between our first and second trips.  And less time until we get this monkey home.

2.  We got word today that our registration dossier should be filed next week!!!  That means it is very likely that we could travel in the next 6-8 weeks.  As we all know, things can never be predicted in this adventure.  However, it is very promising that we could be looking at travel time and referring to it in weeks instead of months.  I can't wait to get my hands on these cheeks.

3.  Jack turned four yesterday.  

He asked me if Katie Ruth could come to his party.  Sweet love.  When I told him that she couldn't, he asked if he could save her some cake.  Um, gross.  He asked if he could call her to tell her it was his birthday.  He is just dying to get her home.  He told me, "When you bring Katie Roof home, do you know the first thing I'll say to her?  Thank you for coming here.  Do you know why?  Because I CAN TELL HER WHAT TO DO!"  Clearly someone has been bossed around for, oh his entire life.  I so hope Katie is home for her birthday. . . don't worry.  I've already got about 32 birthday parties planned for her.  

4.  I think this weekend I'll start making some freezer meals for while we're gone, make some notes about the boys' meds, school, activities, and things like that so when we get a travel date I don't have to worry about that.  It's exciting to think we may actually go soon!
