what's in store for us today...

well, today's going to be busy to say the least... i'll be getting all the girls up in about an hour & get started for the day... spike & i are taking all 3 of them to the dr. for a 'well baby check' just for measurements, height, weight, etc.... after that's finished, 2 of them will head to the waiting room with daddy, but karleigh will have to stay back with me as she's GOT to get her ears cleaned out!... this kids got the dirtiest ears of anyone on planet earth & i clean them every other day!!...it's pretty typical for children from haiti, but hers are over the top!... alright, enough said about earwax so early this morning... we'll then try & catch lunch & then it's off to INS... when kiara came home they sent her greencard stating she was a jr. (ie: kiara m. jr.) as a guy would UGH... we're taking it back today to try & get it fixed... we're also hand delivering dad & mom's paperwork (their I600A) for them as they've got a homestudy this afternoon & can't come with us... they're doing so well on gathering all this paperwork up, it's really unbelievable... i told her in the beginning, there wasn't room to slack & that i was going to run her into the ground (with a smile on my face) & that she HAD to keep up when it came to getting papers i needed ----- & she has!!!... we're down to all she needs now's their homestudy back (will get it this monday) & their psych evaluation (will meet with the psychologist on tuesday)... we've explained to him that we're in a HUGE hurry, so hopefully he'll move a bit & get it done... IF, after they meet with him on tuesday, we could pick up the letter on wednesday, get it translated on thursday (& IF everything else's finished being translated as it's already being worked on -- go nikki go!!), then we'll go to the statehouse in indiana on friday (9th) & then we'll be off to chicago the following monday (12th) to have the haitian authentications stamped & they'll be DONE!... if it doesn't work out quite that fast, then we'll have to go to chicago the following week (21st, 22nd or 23rd), but we're really pushing hard to get it done sooner rather than later... pray, pray, pray that we can accomplish this at the faster rate of speed... a lot will need to come together in a short amount of time: (ie: the homestudy they're having today will need to be in their hands by monday, the psych eval they're having next tuesday will need to be in their hands like the following day & nikki will need to continue working as quickly as she has for all our adoptions in the past & get the translations done in record time)... our goal's to have everything back to us & translated by the morning of the 9th & i truly believe that it can happen... they just started their dossier on the 14th of february, so at this rate they'll be able to turn it in about 3+ weeks later -- go dad/mom!!!... well, that's it for me today, i'll try & post more tonight... have a wonderful thursday!
