We have an OFFICER!!!!! WOO HOOO

After waiting 48 days we finally have an officer with USCIS (immigration).  Thank you to all those who have continued to lift this adoption up for us.
Please pray that this lady processes our approval at lightening speed!  This is the last piece of paper we need to file our dossier with Dariya's country.  Once we file, they will translate it (2-3 weeks) and sent it to the SDA for a court date (which will be about a month after the submission).  We will then be given our court date and make travel arrangements.  Can you believe it?  ACK  so excited!!!!
This paper pregnancy is going super fast!

Now here is a pic and video of some fun.  Won't Dariya look cute rolling around with Alayna?



One of Aidan's birthday presents was this trampoline. (YES, we are SO thankful for Craigslist and the sweet family who all but gave it to us).   Their next door neighbor has down syndrome and when he and Jason got to talking about our adoption, he even offered to come help Jason set it up in our backyard.  Sweet, there are nice strangers still left in the world.
It is way bigger than we thought (ok really our yard is way smaller than we thought).  But, the kids love it all the same.  Alayna was rolling around over and over again on it so I went and grabbed the camera.
Yes, we are going to buy a safety net but, we couldn't resist letting them have some fun on it.

Oh yay!!!! Congratulations. You are going to be traveling before you know it.

Love the video! You are much braver than I am. I would be freaking out that Lily would fall off.
