On Golden Pond

The weather was beautiful this weekend! Atlanta hit a record high of 87 and there was rarely a cloud in the sky. If there is a downside, it would be that the pollen has begun its annual descent in full force. But as long as I’m taking my allergy meds, what’s a little yellow dust in the air?

My mom & step dad live on a small lake in Milledgeville. My grandparents own the place next to them, and last summer we went in together with Zack’s parents & bought the house next to my grandparents. It's very simple and perfect for weekend getaways!
So Friday afternoon, we headed for Golden Pond. That's right, we have a place On Golden Pond! If only our last name was Thayer…
Our friends Eric and Michaele joined us for the weekend, and we had a great time. We went golfing on Saturday morning, trekked around the lake on the boat a little, and just relaxed. We introduced them to 2 critical institutions in Milledgeville – on Friday night, we went the Pickle Barrel. And we hit The Brick on Saturday for some yummy pizza and wings.

Please, please be praying that our passports will come soon. I’m sure you've seen the stories on the news about the delays. It’s been 6 weeks since we applied. At that time we were told it would take 6 weeks, but now turnaround is more like 10 weeks. We have to submit copies of them when we send our dossier to Ukraine. So with everything else going so fast, the passports could cause a holdup if they don’t come soon.

Also, please pray that everything goes smoothly with our fingerprints this Friday. No, we don’t have some wild Bonnie & Clyde past. We just want everything to be processed quickly so that CIS can review and send us our approval! The sooner everything goes through, the sooner we can bring Little Guy home!

We’ll be posting more pictures of Little Guy’s room soon. Our friend Tammy did a great job painting, but we’re still waiting on furniture to be delivered. We want to wait until it’s in place before posting pictures. Until then, we’ll keep you in suspense....
