The Waiting Game

Whistle while we work wait is the new norm around our house.

We are at the point in the process where we are waiting....waiting on the U.S. side for our application (I-600a) to be approved and waiting on the African side for the court to hear and decide our case. 

And, I must confess, waiting is not much fun....in fact, I'd go so far as to say it is no fun at all.  And I'm sure this will come as a shock to many, but patience is not my middle name...in fact, I'm not sure it is even in my vocabulary.  Still, given all this, I wait patiently.

While we wait, we have been busy. 

• The girls now share a closet....talk about rocket science trying to fit two girls closets into one!
• Lil brother's bedroom is now painted (I think he'll appreciate someday the fact he no longer has a lavender room).
• Lil brother's bedroom is almost ready for him....it looks very cute (I'll share pictures when we have it "ready to go."
• Plans for the trip have begun...and we even purchased a new backpack specific for the trip.
• "Things to Do" have been discussed as my husband will care for our son for 3-4 days in Africa and need to entertain him in the hotel.

We know His timing is perfect....and until then, we'll just "whistle while we wait."
