Well, here are all the amazing things about today!
1. Went to Taipei to start Grayson's passport application. They allowed us to file for it before the final decree. We will fax them the final decree when it arrives. We had to take Grayson along with us because they have to see him in person to "match" him to the passport picture we had taken yesterday. We walked up the stairs to hundreds of Taiwan people getting passports, etc. Pretty sure everyone turned and look at us. We were "fish out of water". Super-Duper awkward! Plus, I only had 10 minutes to get ready before we left since it was a last minute thing today. So my hair was not combed, in a messy bun, with a hoody and jeans on.................nice. I didn't know we would be out in public :) Oh well, I will most likely never see those people again.?!
2. Ted talked with the people at the AIT (Similar to an American Embassy) building today and sadly, they have in-service training next Thursday and Friday (probably when we would need a meeting). I was really bummed thinking....we have come so far to get to the last thing and have to wait another week (and fly to Hong Kong and back). Anyway, Ted talked with them and they will allow us to meet them Thursday morning at 7:30am!!!!! What a miracle! I was shocked at this news!!! Now we need that final decree to come!
3. Ted talked with the court and they WILL let him pick up the final decree when its done!!! It does NOT have to be mailed - PRAISE THE LORD!
4. On our way home, we got a call saying that our FedEx box was delivered!!! It's been stuck in customs for 2 weeks now :) And we LOVE everything in it! Thanks to all who sent us things :) Party tonight!
5. Plus, I got a cute card from Darlene (Matt's Grandma)!! It was laying on my bed when we got back!
We are really praying now for that final decree to be completed!!! Please continue to pray with us for God to pull us through this in 1 week!..................YES, YOU HEARD RIGHT -- 1 WEEK!
My popcorn and sprite party last night! Not as good as the one my cheerleaders had at the gym though :)
"Mom.....are we going to the Dr. again??!!!"
Sleeping peacefully :)
Now he is really conked out!!
Love this picture!
Driving into the tunnel!
Our box finally arrived with all the goodies!
Reading the Owl book my family sent! Grayson loved it!
And now he is eating the owl.
And now he is eating my string :)
Headed to Taipei to apply for Grayson's passport! Praise the Lord!
He got himself stuck under the crib. He thought is was funny for a minute, then began to cry (hehe). And he will most likely do it again tomorrow!
