On Friday, I received notice of a new appointment for fingerprinting. We have talked to several people in several departments about rescheduling my appointment and I finally have a date to put on the calendar. My appointment is on June 24 at 8:30 a.m. in St. Paul. Evidently, most people coming in for a repeat scan will automatically pass. It has been hard to check the mail each day hoping to find something from Immigration. They (our adoption counselor) are just waiting for the "ok" on the fingerprints to send off the rest of our paperwork to the US Immigration Office. Everything else has progressed in a very timely manner. My fingerprints (or lack thereof) has held us up for at least several weeks! It's frustrating and I feel badly that I am the one dragging the process down. On June 24th I get to have my biometrics taken one more time. Hopefully, we will move through the next immigration steps quickly. We are still hopeful that the kids will be here by the time school starts, but I guess there are no guarantees.
This week our house felt like Grand Central Station. On Wednesday and Thursday, we saw FedEx, UPS, the mailman, Elaine's Floral, Cambridge Floral, several construction workers, 20 high school swimmers (for breakfast), HOM furniture ( two times!) and Star Glass. In the confusion of it all, my neighbors brought our wandering dog home twice. We are just lucky that so many people know who he is! It is fun to have so much activity at the house. Having the summer aquatic girls has become somewhat of a tradition. I always serve the same thing - chocolate chip pancakes. It was great to hear all the chatter and have lots of kids in the house. It makes me glad that we are adding to our family. I wish it would happen sooner than later, but for now, we will wait...
