Trying to recap all that has been happening since I took a little leave from our online journal is going to hard, but here it goes...
We finally got our fingerprint appointment through USCIS and it is set for Friday, November 20th! Hoping to have all of the paper chasing wrapped up and sent into our agency for review by the end of December. As for when we will travel...now I am thinking May? Only time will tell. We have not gotten any more updates on our Benjamin.
Francesca is LOVING school and she is now going 5 days a week! As for our Annabelle, she is still my little shadow and I wouldn't have it any other way!
We here at the Leonard household is currently getting ready for Christmas! The house is almost completely decorated (minus the tree and outdoor lights) but other than those two things - we are set to go and the girls are loving it...as I am too! Christmas music is playing...cookies are being baked...our Christmas photos cards are almost completed and I am finishing up my holiday shopping. I am hoping to start the wrapping on Thanksgiving weekend for many of our purchased gifts for our family in Pennsylvania - as they are being stored at my mom's house.
(we will be spending Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania...Christmas in DC...and New Year's back in Pennsylvania)
Now, onto the best part of this post ~ some photos of the girls ~ which I know you all have been patiently waiting for...
Our front door decorated for Christmas! I just love how it turned out this year!
Both girls enjoying the falling leaves of Autumn!
Halloween at The Leonard household - Francesca was once again dressed as Mulan for her school's party!
