Sleepy Mama is Back

Well, after going private months ago and only blogging a handful of times--we are back to public and I'm back to blogging-when I can keep my eyes open :)  SO MUCH has happened since my last entry.
  1. Justin accepted a job on August 24th in Illinois
  2. We welcomed our second daughter, Ainsley Caroline, into our family on August 25th.
  3. We moved from Cleveland to about an hour south of Chicago on October 10th.
  4. Jatin turned 3 on November 13th.
After moving we learned that we'd have to REDO our homestudy in Illinois, not just update it like we thought.  Thankfully, this process has gone pretty quickly.  Our homestudy has been written and is now being reviewed.  We have our fingerprinting appointment set for immigration.  Jatin's passport hasn't arrived at BAT yet.  Hopefully our paperwork and his passport are all ready at the same time.  We are now thinking February or March before we travel.  What a roller coaster!

  1. Great to have you back! Looking forward to keeping up with your journey. Brad's parents live in Rockford, north of Chicago - so we pass through there several times a year... when Jatin is home and you are settled, would love to meet up some time and see if Lauren and Jatin remember each other.
