Fingerprints & Paint


Fingerprints & paint...that's the news in our life right now. We received a notification letter that we have our fingerprint appointment scheduled on Tuesday, Nov. 4th in Cleveland. Finally. It seems like it took forever to get that appointment letter. Before we leave for Cleveland that day, Kory and I will visit a potential preschool for Jay-R (after we vote, of course!). We are looking into our options. With it being the middle of the school year, that makes it a little tricky. We want him to have some preschool and some socialization with children he will attend kindergarten with in the fall.


And paint...we've been doing a lot of it. We got the paint for Ashleigh's room at a certain store in town. When Kory went back to get more paint, the results were awful! The colors did not match at all-it was like 6 shades off! They did give me my money back and we went across town to Ace. They matched it perfect. We only had to repaint 2 walls instead of the whole room. We love Ace! (The picture is Ash painting her room. I'll post pics of his room as soon as I clean it!) My father in law painted my kitchen and back hallway for us Saturday. It's a deep, autumn red color and I love it! I'll have to post pictures later.


We'll keep you posted as we find out more!

Legals have arrived!

Today, I got the mail from our mailbox. Bummer, no letter from the USCIS yet with a refingerprinting date. We have to have our fingerprints done again before we can travel. I reached to open the door, looked down, and was like, what's that under the doormat? As soon as I saw the UPS envelope, I knew what it was. Jay-R's legal paperwork! Yeah! Now, we need to send everything into the gov. so we can get our I600 approval and his visa. More waiting, but one step closer!!!

We painted Jay-R's room last weekend. And right now we are in the process of painting Ashleigh's room. I will send before and after pics as soon as they are done.
