Fingerprint update

I have to appear in the Immigration Office in downtown Chicago on Monday morning because my fingerprints were rejected this time. I have to sign a sworned statement about my background check before they will update our I-600 form that is required for our adoption. I always have problems with taking fingerprints... something about my fingertips being too smooth so they can't read the lines on them. ???

The only good news about this trip is that I get to babysit Johnny on Sunday night while mommy and daddy go out with some friends. :-) More pictures to follow after my babysitting gig on Sunday.....

busy weekend!

I had Thursday and Friday off last week. I was able to visit Shana and Paul and Johnny! Shana and I took Johnny to Picture People for his 1st photo shoot! They turned out great. He was 12 days old on Thursday when we took him.

I was also able to babysit Johnny all by myself while Paul and Shana went to dinner for the 1st time since Johnny was born! I took this picture of us.

This picture shows how tiny he is! I think this is his favorite position to sleep...

This is Johnny on his Mommy's tummy... he's sooooo cute!

Then on Friday, I was able to see Grayson and his two cousins, Calvin and Caitlin, in their Vacation Bible School program.

On Saturday, Grayson and I visited Gma and Gpa Schofield. Elizebeth and Nate were there too. They all had a great time swimming.

After visiting the Great Grandma's in the nursing home, we went to Trixie's 4th birthday party. The kids had a great time!






On the adoption front, referrals have been received for LID's (log in dates) up to 1/20/06. Our LID date is 2/20/06. If we were to guess at this point, we may have a referral in Oct or Nov this year. This is a complete GUESS though. :-)
