Whew! What a week!

This was an exciting, full and amazingly b.u.s.y. week!

A few highlights:

*A trip to get Taylor fingerprinted at U.S. Immigration, which is 1 1/2 hrs away from home.  The boy had the nerve to turn 18 in the middle of an adoption, so he had to be fingerprinted to prove he has not committed any crimes.  Guess what, he passed!

*Andrew got his learner's permit and he is anxious to drive me everywhere!

*Abby had her big semi-annual check-up at the Children's Hospital.    Considering that this hospital is 1 1/2 hours from our house and it is a very complete check up, on the day of this visit we left home at 10 am and returned home at 5 pm!  They were very pleased with her progress and she does not have to wear her braces anymore!  

Woo Hoo!

*We received updates on both boys and found an amazing consignment sale and the girls in this family had a great time shopping!

*Taylor and Andrew volunteered at a Ladies Prayer Advance, so the girls and I had a great "girls day" shopping and eating lunch out.

*I painted the little boys room.

*Abby had two therapy sessions this week.

*And in between all of this running we had school, music lessons, washed a boat load of laundry and prepared meals for my crew!

And...

if this week couldn't get any better with

 the precious updates on the boys ...

I800 (immigration) approval!
