German documents

Today, we finally received our certified translations of our local police clearances in the mail.  Then, I took all 3 kids (the Kindergarten had the day off, probably because of the big UEFA game) back to the doctor to get his signatures/stamps on more forms.  The last forms he filled out, he accidentally spelled our last names wrong.  Oops!  But, he was more than willing to sign new ones, so we now officially have EVERYTHING we need to go to the local notary.  Crazy as I am, I am actually tempted to drive there will all 3 kids in tow without D to get this done so we can move on to the next step!  But, since I spent the morning essentially dragging them all around town running various errands, I think maybe I will wait until Monday morning.  The benefit of waiting until then is that DJ & L will be in Kindergarten, so I will only have to keep N entertained while the Notary does his thing.  I am one of those people that wants to do things as soon as I can possibly do them, so here's what I am telling myself to keep patient.  (This may or may not be true, but it has at least an 85% chance of being true and that's good enough for me)  If we went to the Notary right now and got everything notarized right now, it would be very stressful for myself & the kids, then we would still have to wait until Monday to go wherever it is that we need to go to get them certified because they are most likely closed already.  So, if I wait until Monday, it will be less stressful AND we can probably go ahead and get them certified that same day and be no worse off than if I went and got them Notarized now!  Now, if Monday would just hurry up and get here!  :-P

In other news, our home study agency has written our addendum to correct the problem that the USCIS has with our original home study.  They will be getting that notarized next week and mailing it to the USCIS as soon as they received the check that I just mailed today.  I hope the USCIS officer will accept an addendum instead of requiring a completely new home study.  The home study agency seemed confident that they would, so I will just have to take their word for it since they would know better than me!

Things are moving along and I couldn't be more excited!!  DJ and L have been extremely interested in all of the details lately and they are getting more and more excited to meet their new little sister.  I love their excitement and interest!   DJ is even more adorable lately.  He wants to pray that God would heal her of her blindness, but he wants me to let him be the first one to pray for her.  He's got such faith and I would LOVE to see God meet that faith with a miracle!  :-D
