Our social worker emailed me back and will have the origianl homestudy sent on Monday!What a relief this is to all of us.I swear i am getting an ulcer lol.SO now we hope not to much longer and we will have our I171h.
I am spenidng today baking its cold outside and lightly snowing.Landen has a skate christmas party togo to and Michael will be taking him so mommy can stay home and bake so santa will have cookies left for him.Landen is so into the season.He is so cute he sings jingle bell rock all day everyday.This morning i plugged the tree and and he said OOOOOOH PETTY.He loves his christams tree.The teens are not into it as much anymore but Landen is so much fun to watch and listen too.
I cannot wait to share these monents with Jax as well.To have to smallboys that get enjoyment out of life and small things.Landen is such a happy little man It takes very little to get a giggle out of him.He has been such a joy to us.Hard to believe 4 yrs has passed that he came from from India.Its seems like just yesterday.He has learned so much and Life would nevere be the same without this beautiful little man in my life.Words cannot express the love i have for him.
My oldest son Willliam and his Fiance came out yesterday evening to open their gifts.They are going to be at Hetahers families for christmas this year and will leave on Monday.They really liked their gifts and are so struggling financially .William wanted to make sure his brothers and sisters al got something from him and he bought them each something bless his heart.The kids all like what he got them.It will be differnt not having him home christmas day and he is all grown up and its hard for momma to let go of her baby.
Our oldest daughter Hannah is comming christmas eve with her Fiance to open presents.Its also hard not having her home on Christmas.But my 2 adult children have lives of their own.Its hard for me i still want to protect them and take care of my little ones.Yes i said little ones lol they will always be my babies even though they are 21 and 20 now.

GOT ANSWERS
I got a call from INS today!I know what the hold up is and i have to stay i am not HAPPY.Our social worker boo booed and sent a copy of our homestudy istead of the original notorized homestudy.I dont know why she did that because we had discussed this several months ago.
So i left her a message and like 2 emails telling her i have to have an ORIGINAL notorized copy to be sent to USCIS.
I was angry at first 2 months we waited 2 MONTHS.I was worried sick something bad was holding it up,Now i know and i am glad it is something that can be fixed.So i am hoping to hear something from social worker on Monday and get this done as soon as possible.We know now we wont get our I171H until January but now that we know what was holding it up and can get it done i will be more at ease .
It will be like a big present when we finally receive our I171H.

School was canceled today due to the snow we got.We got 4 inches and the wind is keeping the highways and roads horrible and not driveable.So no shopping today!Instead I am trying to keep my 2 teen girls and Landen Entertained and suffering a sinus headcahe that wont go away.I did take some sudafed but it did not help at all.It is so bittercold here.Wind chill makes it Minus 12.Its cold in this old drafty house of ours brrrr.
Landen had decided he dont want to get dressed today and is still in his blanket sleeper.If thats what he is comfy in why not lounge in his jammies today.To cold to go outide and play in the snow anyway.Tomorrow i am driving my husband to an appiontment in Mo and plane on doing some shopping there.Then it will be huddle in the house another few days as we are due to get an icestorm on Thursday i am not looking forwarsd to that.last year we got an icestorm so bad we were without power for 2 weeks and had to seek shelter at the armory.We were blessed to get power back on 3 days before christmas.Although it was devastation and tree limbs down everywhere and we got damage to the house.Tree limb came down and ripped siding off our home.We we lucky thats all we got.Others in town got big limbs through their roofs and cars smashed.So i dread any icestorms we get.

LAZY DAY!
Its to cold to get out so i stayed inside allday.I finished up some more shopping online and i made cookies and just hung around the house today.I did manage to go through Landens dresser he had alot of clothes he has outgrown.So i am boxing them up to send to a friend of mine whos Nephew is in need of them.
The school called this morning Landen had a seizure at school and was sent home.He enjoyed being home today.He played all day and sang jingle bell rock like 10 times he so cute.I am still suffering with my sinuses and can see i will probably end up in the docs office before it is over.When my sinuses flare they get so bad it messes with my equillibrium.The weather is suppose to be bitter cold all week so will be rough on all of us.Tomorrow i am going to go do a little shopping and get a few more baking goods so i can do some more Holiday candies and baking.

TOO COLD
It is 9 pm and the temp outside is 3 degrees.Its too cold... the stinky part is my dryer broke tonight and i went to throw a load of wash in and my wash machine pipes are froze.So i cant wash my laundry.I ventured out today to get groceries and was so cold the wind was up and when it blew it took your breath away.I am glad i got them before it dipped down worse.Now it is lightly snowing yuck! I am not a cold weather person it kills my arthritis.
A friend of mine showed up tonight with a box of clothes for Jaxson.They are so so cute.She sent different sizes so he has clothes to last for awhile.I thought this was sweet of her she was thrilled to find that his name will be Jaxson she loved this name as well. these clothes were her nephews that has outgrown and she wanted them to come to Jax she is too sweet.
I was going to go in to work in the morning and my aunt called me and told me to stay home it was going to be to bitter cold to get out.So i have some presents to wrap and will make our sugar cookie dough to get ready to make our christmas cookies.The dough has to chill in the fridge so i will make it in the morning and the girls can help roll cut bake and frost when they get home from school.They LOVE to help bake christmas cookies.
I wish Jax was home with us to join the festivities.I cannot wait until he is home and to have our first family christmas with him.I feel as something is missing with him not here.I have been learning so much about cp and the resources to help him once he is home.Its sooo important to start treatment on him as soon as possible.The younger he is the better it is for his improvement to get him more mobile.I have to wait until he is home to get the adaptive equipment he may need,I am so so ready for him.
I am praying his I171H comes this week! I have heard from others who has been waiting many many months for them.I pray it comes soon and i pray things keep moving along in Liberia and that he wont have to wait to much Longer.I am ready to get on the plane and go meet my boy.
