STILL TRAPPED IN FAMILY COURT!!!!!

Hi everyone,
No, we did not forget about the blog, there is just NOTHING happening on our case. We are still stuck in family court. The average time spent in family court varies, but is usually 4 weeks. We are going on week 11!!!!!!!!!!!!! My patience are a thing of the past and I am desperate to move on to the final court (PGN). The holiday season really put the brakes on our process because each government employee in Guatemala gets to have ONE MONTH (yes, you read correctly) off for vacation! Insane! There is no one to cover for the staff so when they leave literally everything shuts down. We have been told that we should be out this week, but we were also told that on December 18th so I dont hold a lot of stock in that promise. Sorry for the bitter tone of this post...we just miss Joey so much and have told Sarah about her baby brother so she asks for him constantly. We have tried to explain that he will not be home until after the Easter Bunny comes, so then she asks "is today Easter"?? It is actually very cute and she is already so infatuated with him. She loves to look at pictures and our video and will tell anyone who will listen that she is getting a baby brother from "Caramala" that is three year old speak for Guatemala. We read books about being a big sister and international adoption and she seems really excited. We have decided not to bring her on our pick up trip as we had originally thought we might do, her asthma is just too unpredictable and the food supply there just too risky for food poisoning so she will meet us at the airport!!! She is busily deciding who will take care of her while we are gone and I think she has narrowed it down to 12 people!

Thank you again for all of your support. Keep the prayers coming... pray most for my sanity!
