March madness

Things are moving along with our paperwork. We had our fingerprints updated yesterday with USCIS so as soon as they come back I can get them and a few other things apostilled then ship then overseas for translation. We should be submitting our dossier in about 2 weeks depending how long the update takes and how long translation takes. We then just wait for travel dates. More than likely it will be at least a month before we get dates and those dates will probably be for about 3-4 weeks later. There is no way to really know.

So for now we press on and keep making preparations to the girls room and saving money for the trip and trying to fundraise. We still are needing about $9500-$11,000 depending on when we travel. As it gets closer to summer airplane ticket prices go up and train tickets in country as well. We are so close and I'm excited. The girls room is empty except for their dresser so we are going to paint soon and move 2 twin size beds in there for them. I bought a comforter to match one we already have and I'm excited to decorate their room. Ashlyn will need a new bed since we are taking the bunk beds she has now and separating them for the girls. So I'm looking for a nice used twin size bed for her room now. 

All the other kids are doing good, it's spring break right now but we can't reay do anything. We still have construction workers here during the day working on the handicap bathroom and new laundry room. Don't even ask how it's been being without a washer and dryer for 3 weeks with a family of our size. Let's just say I hate the laundromat. Anyway my 3 wild boys are downstairs yelling and screaming at each other over a toy AGAIN so I better go intervene.
