11 months old today

Our beautiful boy is 11 months old today. We are no closer to bringing him home than we were 11 months ago. Everyone asks me why? Why is his case so stuck? Why can't you do anything? Why do they let this happen? I wish I knew those answers. It's definitely not fair. Ahren has a home and a loving family. He should be with us this holiday season. We should be spoiling him rotten, smothering him in kisses and hugs every day.
In other news, today is a great day! We got our PBJ dossier sent off to Guatemala this morning. It is short 2 docs, but they are getting started on the translations. The last 2 docs are our birth certificates. I had to send them to the Guat Consulate in Chicago instead of Houston to be authenticated. Everything else is on it's way!
Also today, they are pouring the foundation of our new house. They were scheduled to do it next week, but managed to move it up to beat the rain that's headed our way. Yahoo!!!
Now if we could just get a smidgen of news on Ahren, today would be perfect. We love you little man! I hope you can feel it all those miles away.....
