One last hurdle...

Another early start this morning, sitting in traffic and gathering paperwork. Finally made our way to the British Embassy to submit our application for Wills visa.

All we can do now is wait and pray for a speedy response. Our agency originally told us to book our return flights for the 29th but we are hopeful for a little quicker than that, 26th or 27th would be great!

It's quite a relief actually that there is nothing more now that we can do, we intend to just enjoy these next few days together getting used to life as a family of four!

Will was a little unsettled last night which was only to be expected but he is coping incredibly well with what is a total change to everything he has ever known before. He's been asleep for almost 4 hours now though and has been eating really well all day, in fact he's already got a Davidson's attitude to being hungry, he doesn't like it!!

He really loves attention and is really easy to entertain, he also makes sure he keeps Amanda in sight at all times!

Also, I'm delighted to report that snow has arrived, Leah is over the moon and we played in the little park across from the apartment until we could now longer feel our fingers! After explaining to Leah that we couldn't play in the snow at nighttime we compromised by agreeing to return first thing in the morning to build a snowman!

Few more pics now and I'll be back once we have anything else to report!

Philip, Amanda, Leah & Will.

Snow has arrived!

The camera is adding a few pounds here, really!
"Wanna half-sucked rice cake?!"
Leah's very happy!

Oh wow, missed the first few posts regarding your journey thanks to a rotten stomach bug. How delightful that you are a family of 4 finally and just in time for Christmas. I continue to pray for a speedy exit and for the welfare of the babies. Love Leah's glasses - too chic.

Love,

Sandy
