Doing the Dossier: Next Stop, Apostilling!

All Cuban Daddy has to do is copy one form on the back of another.  
(Should be easy enough, right?!)

Then... we are DONE with the Dossier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have figured out all of the little snags we ran into, corrected any *incorrect* copies, & picked up a certified warrenty deed (the last form needed).  I received my $64 State official Birth certificate (What?!) in the mail Monday. 

I finally received a call back from the Secretary of State's office.
The helpful guy went thru EVERY document with me, asking questions, etc. From what he could tell, we are GOOD to go!  He did say that most people have to make 2 trips b/c they're missing something.  Let's hope & pray we are not 'most people!'  

We'll make copies of everything this weekend.

Then I plan on taking the Dossier to ATL on either Monday or Tuesday to have it all Apostilled.  He said to drop it off one morning & pick it up a couple of hours later.  I think I can do that.

Then, make more copies.

Then, mail to Buckner! 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm so, so, so ready to get rid of this thing.  

Please pray all goes smoothly & quickly!


BIG smiles all around!


Eager,

Easter

Yeah, this post is delayed, but I've been a wee bit busy 'Doing the Dossier.'  ;)

Here's how we celebrated Easter 2013:

Dying Easter eggs with friends: 





Attending a local Easter egg hunt & celebration, complete with jumpies & blow up slides. So hot, but lots of fun!





I mean, seriously.  This is so them though.  
I said, "Put your arm around your sister and smile."  
And I get a tackle grip from behind and a tongue. 

Easter morning anticipation.
What did the Easter bunny bring?






You wouldn't believe what the Easter bunny left:
a note on the glass door, complete with bunny print, he spilled some jelly beans by accident, and left part of his tail! (Some even got stuck in the door.)  Silly bunny!  G LOVED it!  

Daddy made bunny & egg pancakes for a special breakfast: 


We celebrated the true reason for today:
Jesus' death on the cross & resurrection. 
We went to church.  This was the first year sweet G REALLY seemed to understand all of this.  She cried when she realized that Jesus died for HER.

My parents & Cuban Daddy's mom were there too:


Gosh, he loves his son so much. 

I mean, I could barely contain myself w/ these matching ties. 

Daddy's little angel 




The babies!  G & K

Then, after naps, we headed to my parents' house for dinner and another egg hunt.  This time, with my brothers, their wives, and my 3 nieces.  

It was rainy, so we did an indoor hunt.



2 of my 3 cute nieces (the other one was just too fast!) 

My little brother found a cute pink bunny on the hunt.
Can you see the excitement?


Finding out what's hidden in those eggs 


A fun annual tradition with the cousins


My sweet ones 



Happy Easter!

2nd Annual ADOPT Yard Sale!

(And I know of at least 3 more people that have promised to donate some items before the sale.)

It really is going to make the Yard Sale so much better, draw a bigger crowd, and make so much more money for the adoption.  Every single dollar helps...it all adds up.  And after the Dossier expenses, we'll be about OUT of "Adoption $".  God has totally 100% provided, so we have no doubt He'll continue to take care of us, to provide to bring His babies home.  He's so good.
