A clean bill of health and more good news!











We woke early to have Sarah's health screeing for her immigration paperwork. She had a thorough exam and was given a clean bill of health. She was such a good girl during her appointment. She was in good spirits even through the long wait. She does have an issue with her hip joint allignment, but we will have to wait to talk to our pediatrician at home to determine what, if anything the treatment will be.




More good news followed. It turns out that the squeaky wheel does get the grease. I guess I was squeaky enough because he got our visa appointment moved up to today. (You should have seen the surprised look Truan had when, with all my excitment I hugged him when he told me the good news.) The interview went well and we will should have her visa in hand on Monday afternoon! Yeah!!!! We contacted the travel agent and are waiting to hear of our earliest departure possibility.




Picure explainations: Sarah and I are all dressed up for our visa interview at the Embassy




The gecko was on the wall of the restaurant (The Green Tangerine) we went to last night. He entertained us while we ate. It was a beautiful french restarant with a gorgeous garden terrace. Sarah loved her dinner fish fingers and rice (the fish version of chicken fingers) And, well, Dave and I ordered room service when we got back to the hotel. What can we say, the service was good and the atmosphere was charming and we should have eaten off the kids menu. Live and Learn.

Praise God!!!! We can't wait to see you all back safely in Medford-land. I'm lovin' your greasiness, by the way… way to work it baby! The pictures are fantastic. Truly, she is STUNNING, and her eyes just sparkle, you can tell she’s got spunk & a great personality. (She’ll fit in perfectly with the rest of the Martin clan.) We can’t wait to finally meet her. And a clean bill of health, thank you Lord! Like they say… she was only a “waiting child” because she was “waiting” for you. Praise God the wait is over! Thank you for keeping us updated!
Much love,
