Three Cheers for Homeland Security!!!

It came!  Our I-171H has arrived! And it only took five weeks and two days! That has to be some kind of record for our government.  They must have seen my previous post and realized the gravity of the situation.  Either that, or the dart finally landed on our paperwork.  Three cheers for our brothers (and sisters) at the US Department of Homeland Security: Keeping us safe from invaders.  
Now I will mail our dossier to Austin tomorrow via FedEx and they said it will arrive there on Tuesday morning. Tomorrow I am going to call the Sec of State and see if there is any way to secure a speedy passage through their office; I am not above bribes, people!  Just tell me who and how much.  Can I get in trouble for saying that?  I will update you all on the dossier's progress as soon as I get more information.  Please say a prayer of thanksgiving and rejoicing to the Lord for answering this prayer.
On to other news: Sydney did it! She is officially potty trained!  Sure we still have about one accident a day, but I am calling it done! Thank you for your kind words and prayers of encouragement.  
Now, on to the selling of our house...

Whoo hoo for potty training!! Alex is pretty much on the same track...about 1 accident a day (we've had a few without), but that doesn't include naps. Nope, the pull-ups still come into play there! ANYWAY, we were with CWA, that's how we got everything done in one trip. They are the only agency that can pull that off somehow. Congrats on your 171! That's such a relief!
