Bon Voyage Pardon Application!

We have finally received all of the required paperwork for John's pardon application!
The girls and I ran down to the post office as soon as it opened up this morning so that we could mail it off!
If all goes well (the gov't actually processes John's pardon quickly as we requested) We should be able to send our homestudy to the gov't of Alberta in 5-8 weeks from now. I will be calling the pardon's division everyday until I am told that they have his application and are expediting his file. No point in backing off now...LETS GET THINGS GOING!!!
We are happy and excited that soon our dossier will be sent to China! by soon I mean a couple months, but in the grand scheme of things 2 months isn't much time to wait!

We just got back from our holidays. We had such a great time! It was a tiring trek, but well worth it! Cadence and Avery had so much fun!
The lake was beautiful this year and we can't wait to get back there next summer! A couple people asked me if we'd have our new baby by next summer so we can bring her to the lake too. Sorry people, but a couple more summers might pass before our little one can finally join us there. It will be so fun to watch her play in the sand with her sisters! Can't wait!!!

We'll keep you posted as to when John's pardon comes through!

Take care!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!



O.M.G. O.M.G...........! We are SOOOOOOO excited!!!

The RCMP paperwork we thought we wouldn't get until September came in the mail today!!!!!!

The squeaky wheel worked after all!! (patting myself on the back)

We were feeling quite discouraged thinking we'd have to wait an extra 3-4 months before proceeding with the adoption process....now we can move along with John's pardon and get our application moving again!!!!

Geez...if we're this excited about getting RCMP papers I can't imagine what it will feel like when we get the adoption referral!!!

Anyways...we'll keep you posted as to what's going to happen next! For now I think we'll just take a deep breath and maybe do a little celebrating this weekend!! WooHoo!
