Merry Christmas

kicked out of PGN... I don't know why.
Sooooo our lawyer will fix it in his good ole time and we will be resubmitted to roll the dice again.
Have a Happy Holidays!

Since Nov.7th

( Thanks for all the compliments about the dolls... I used Dancing Rain Dolls to make the dolls...super easy! The woman who owns the company is a dream to work with...These are the first dolls I have ever made! I love how I can make the dolls unique to each girl...in our society that is not an easy task )

Not In...Ramblings

We are unofficially Not in PGN.... "They" say we will go in tuesday..."They" always say that, lol. "They" also thought we had *the* document that we needed to enter.... Now "They" say that they got it today but because it is a holiday (there not here); we will have to wait till Tuesday to go back in. Of course none of this really matters, right? I mean they explained what documnet they needed...But what should I really care...I can't help one way or the other... For all it matters they could tell me they need a salsa dipped black goose feather from the nearest volcano or they could tell me they need a document....either way whatever!.... at this point all the information in the world doesn't change that my girls are not here and that I can't do anything about it... SO get your goose feather or your document.... just get on with it!
All this blah blah information of documents and dates and names of people who will be taking my stuff from one place to another.... I don't care... I mean *I care* but you know what I mean... If Jose will take this piece of paper to Carlos and he will send it to Maria on Thursday; Great. Fantastic. However unless you give me Carlos, Maria and Jose's cell phone number my impact on all of this is very little. Oh but if I had those cell phone numbers....lol... I am sure I can guarentee you that my impact would be much greater then "They" who passed this info to me. Don't get me wrong I am glad that the Guatemalans on the Ground are getting something done... but they would have been doing something had I not been notified so my importance in the equation is very small. Most days when "They" talk my ear off about details and dates... I just become exhausted. I am sure "They" just want me to feel in the loop... but the loop spins slowly without me.
Unless the loop is "You are out of PGN and have PINK"..... all of these other facts are unimpressive.
Most days I try and save you from the boring details of the Guatemalans on the Ground ... but why should I be the only one who has to suffer through the boredom.... You check the blog (albeit you probably come here for pics only) so perhaps now you can be thankful that I save you from this, lol.

She jumps...

I got a little teary eyed reading that she can jump.... OF course she can jump!
While we were there that tiny little breath of a girl would jump on the bed:
"Uno!"
"Dos!"
"Tres!"
"Cuatro!"
"Cinco!"
"Seis!"
At this point Ben and I would hold our breath..."How could such a little thing jump so high". Ben's protectiveness kicking in as he would catch her before "Siete".
Thanks Doc....We know she can jump.

Rockin the Orphan Do!

So umm.... well... .... at first I thought they had gotten lice...Then I thought well maybe with their love of gum they got gum in their hair..AGAIN?!?...But nope...And thankfully so... they just have a bad do...and not so much "they" as just little Teeny. Apparently someone thought they would meld the concepts of french braid , minus the braid ...and corn rows, minus the corn?..Oh no!...lol...It *is * corny..no question there. But enough about their hair, lol. My girls are rockin Guatemalan Fabulousity regardless, dahling!
I can just see Tiny now... Just like when we saw her and I unloaded my collection of little girl shoes... she grabbed hers and explained to Teeny that the others were far too big for her and that she had to wear her old shoes as she handed her a dirty plaid pair of Strawberry shortcake zapatos.... I recently sent more shoes down and I see that Tiny is wearing the new ones and Teeny is wearing the ones I gave Tiny at the hotel. The shoes that I sent, were intended for Teeny funny thing that Tiny has claimed them and passed on her white sandals to Teeny.....ahhhh the joys of being the oldest sister!
Well outside of bad hair...and really, what girl doesn't suffer from the well intentioned, "let me do your hair...I am really good with hair" from a well meaning caregiver, right? Often times this is at the hands of a family member.....Lord knows my sister has braided my long hair into many a horrible french braid that only needed a goat and a milk bucket to complete the ensemble.
In the end I look into their eyes and see the light is still there and feel peace that my babies are healthy and well taken care of.

Who Knew????

They knew....
Then I knew....
Now They know I know.....
And now....
You KNOW!....
But what do you know?
We were kicked out of PGN.
"Oh No!" you say.... "That sounds terrible"
In fact I was elated... I love progress....
I love that someone handled my file
I love that they looked over it and processed it in some way....deemed a touch up necessary and kicked it out.
That's fine with me.... "Hey thanks...Thanks for looking it over...Thanks for taking the time to hurry my file along!"
Let's clean that puppy up and send it back in!


So now we will fix the file up...make it pretty and send it back in....Then they will clear it and say that it looks great .
Aren't you excited?
I am excited!
Get excited these girls will be here soon!
