The Dossier is in the Mail

     Yesterday was a big, big day for us. You see, the dossier is a massive amount of information.  Some of the things we had to collect included newly issued birth and marriage certificates, medical letters and lab reports, pictures, reference letters, psychological evaluations, three forms of photo identification, employment letters, bank letters, taxes, bank statements, yada, yada, yada.  All notarized and signed in blue ink, I should add.  We have been collecting the documents for about two months. My goal was August 1st, but that just didn't happen. I was determined to get everything compiled, processed, stamped, and in the mail by the first day of school. WE MADE IT. I mailed it at 4:20 yesterday, and today was the first day of school. Even better news than that, we received information yesterday that Haiti is back open and accepting new dossiers.  I think it’s kind of neat that those two things happened on the same day. Another God thing?  I think so! 

     First day of school was “awesome”, my son’s exact words. And he also says the chocolate milk was delicious.  I am so thankful for Southside Baptist Preschool.  The same people who took care of my daughter and gave her a positive intro to school will now do the same for my son.  We’re so blessed! Kynady loved the third grade.  She said, “The primary school doesn’t have anything on the third grade.”  I’m proud of my two kids, and I am thankful they are surrounded by such good people in both the private and public school settings.  Oh yeah, we had a wonderful day at the high school as well! It was a great start to what’s going to be a fabulous year.  Bring it on!!
