Here and Gone

Our 797 made it into our hands this morning...

and now its gone again!  YES!!

This morning was somethin' else.  For the third day in a row, Sully's woken up with a fever of over 102 degrees.  He's so sick its just terrible.  I hate seeing him this way and I especially hate the worry that comes along with having a sick child who has tissue expanders in their body.  Ugh.  I had to go to work to tie up loose end, a phone training for Birth to 3 providers, sub plans, and more and then make it back home before Carl needed to leave for work. 

Carl's plan was to try and track down our mail man this morning, even if he hadn't yet delivered our mail, and see if we could get our mail a bit early.  We had a hunch today would be the day we would receive our the Approval Notice, known as the I-797, in the mail and we were right!  We quickly made a copy of the original and Carl took it to have it signed and notarized and then dropped it at the FedEx drop!  Now its off to Pierre to be certified at the Secretary of State's office.  If all goes well, we'll have it will be back here on Thursday and gone again...off to Washington, DC.  This is where there will be a little delay due to the Chinese New Year holiday coming very soon, but that's okay because we're getting SOOOO CLOSE to a HUGE milestone in this process.  Our DTC is right around the corner!!
