TATE RECEIVES HIS
U.S. PASSPORT


Today was a big day for all of the adoption group. The children received their U.S. Visa's, this means they can now travel back to the U.S. The long process is coming to a close for many. A number of people in our travel group headed back to the U.S. last night. We are scheduled to go to Hong Kong on Friday for the weekend. Our travel plans built in a couple of days because we thought we would be able to get an Australian Visa for Tate, unfortunately that hasn't worked out. Tate and Mom will travel back to the U.S. on Sunday and I will take the girls back to Australia to finish out there third term. We will all reunite in Florida on Sept.21, I guess nothing comes easy.

This has been a long couple of weeks and we are all feeling a little run down. Emily has gotten a stomach virus and has been up all night. None of us are feeling too good.

Tate continues to adapt to the family. He is still having some difficulty with the language thing. He now understands a lot of English, but still isn't able to speak much. The girls have been a big help. We are all getting to understand what Tate likes or dislikes. Like many 3 year old children, he does like the word "no".

We will get through the next couple of days and enjoy our time together.

Each day starts off with the breakfast buffet,
don't want to see another for a while


Tate loves the pool.


And he really loves his Mama


Hello everyone, "Can't wait to see you."
