Passport to Mexico!

We had heard that there were many delays in getting a new passport these days since the government heightened security measures. We decided to put in for Ax's as soon as we got his birth certificate and pray and hope for the best. On Friday the 19th we went down to the main post office to submit the application. They were concerned that his face looked too red in his picture, until I held him up and they said, "Wow he is a red little guy!"

On Friday the 26th, exactly one week later, there was one piece of mail in the box. It was Ax's passport! It's exciting to know that we can now legally take all of our children with us. We'll have to call that Gypsy family and let them know the deal is off.

Within the next couple of weeks I will be travelling with one of my good friends down to Mexico to check things out. It's an exciting opportunity to see where we will be living, what we should bring, and to meet all the great people we will be working with.
