Sorry for the interruption in our trip but a few things have happened. Today as I was pulling into work I received an email. Not just any email but the email that we have been waiting for. The email that says "Congrats, you guys passed court today". As I read the email I started to tear up. I forwarded it on to Caleb but knew since he came to bed at 4:30 am he would not see it for a while. I emailed our agency and asked if they were kidding. I got a reply saying we really passed and we are moving forward. So what does this mean???? As of today, December 15, 2010 we are parents. He is ours forever. I went into work and called my dad. I knew he would be at work already. I had to share it with someone. As I was walking down the hall I decided I couldn't wait for Caleb to wake up. I called and woke him up. When I called I said, "I know you have not slept much but I sent you an email. The email says we passed court today." Caleb thanked me for calling and sharing the great news. I told him to get some more sleep and I would talk to him later. I still cannot believe we have officially passed court. Now all of our paperwork will be turned over to the US embassy. They have to get a few things in order before we can go over to pick him up. So for now we sit and wait for our next travel date.
Today at work a few of my friends threw a baby shower for our little guy. It was the best feeling to be able to share our great news. We made a little slide show of pictures from our trip and of our little guy. I have to say that the people / friends at work are amazing. I am thankful to have each and every one of them in my life. Here are a few pics of the gifts. My work doesn't allow cameras so I have no pictures of the actual shower, but memories to last a life time.
Here is before I had Caleb re-open them.
