No News is Good News

Whoever said that obviously wasn't going through an adoption!!! Still no word from USCIS, but I finally called our congressman, and they are going to intervene. I am hoping to hear something back this week, so we continue to wait. I am trying very hard to be patient and positive, but (as my husband can tell you) it's not always easy for me. As soon as I know more, I will keep everyone posted! In the meantime, it has been so comforting following along on other parents blogs who have their children home. When I'm reading these, it helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel! So, since I don't really have anything more to share, I thought I'd include some pictures that I finally downloaded from our cameras!

This is a picture of the second care package we sent to Spike. I keep picturing him in that little outfit (I LOVE the brown/blue combo) and hoping he's getting used to hearing our voices on the tape.

Here are some pictures of Spike's new room. We decided liked the idea of using airplanes since that is how we'll be bringing him home. You might notice that there isn't really anywhere for him to sleep:). We've been trying to work that out...right now he is sleeping with his foster mother, so we're going to co-sleep with him at first too. Then we'll see what kind of crib/bed he is comfortable in. By then, maybe Monkey will be ready for a big boy bed!







Speaking of Monkey...here is a picture of his room. It's been updated with what he calls his "BOOTIFUL new funurture." We just painted my old bedroom furniture green, but he seems to love it!





This is a picture of Monkey and his friend Andy at Brookfield Zoo. We also met up with Wilson, but Mommy forgot about her camera by then! Andy just welcomed home his baby brother from Korea. Congrats to the new family of four!

Finally, a picture of the three of us on Thanksgiving. I am truly blessed to have such a great family, but hopefully this will be one of the last holiday's we celebrate without Spike.

P.S. I am amazed that Monkey is actually looking at the camera. He has a mind of his own these days, and doesn't usually cooperate with picture taking! But isn't he so sweet!?!
