Come on USCIS approval!!!

We know our homestudy is with Philly USCIS, so we are just waiting on the approval form to come and that is the last piece of my dossier needed to take to Harrisburg for appostilling!! Philly generally is quick, so we hope to have it in our hands soon. I may be a little off on being done by the end of the month, since that is Sunday, so new goal will be first week in May.

On another note: LETS GO FLYERS!! Hopefully they can redeem themselves tonight after the embarassing beating they sustained Monday.
Of course as always, Kevin is lucky enough to go to the game, but Alek and I will be cheering at home. He can yell Lets go flyers! We were trying to teach him to say, "Up on your skates boys", but that was a little much for him!

Well keep your fingers crossed that our approval comes this week!

Here are some pics of Alek hiking with us, he loves to sit on daddy's shoulders and steer his head (daddy's poor ears!)

Happy Easter

Can't believe it is Easter already!! We are cruising along on the paperwork front, homestudy is done, corrections will be made this week and we should have it by the end of the week, our medicals are done as well, so I am still on target for having our dossier complete and on its way by the end of the month! Alek had a blast at Easter with lots of treats from several Easter Bunnies! He was definitely pooped by the end of the day!

Alek has a new cousin!

Welcome to the world Reilly Elizabeth!! Congrats Joe, Niki, and big brother Joe!!!
She is absolutely gorgeous and we are so happy for you all!

A glimpse into

the paperchase... Yes, this is what my dining room table looks like most nights as I try to stay organized!! You can see where all the papercuts come from!
