Child proofing

Today we got a money order to send in with the applications for our travel visas. It will be mailed off on Tuesday. We have to send our passports in with the applications. This makes us a little nervous. As many of you may already know when we sent our dossier to New Jersey it came back in pieces over the course of a few days with a nice note from the USPS saying "Sorry this was damaged in transit". That was a horrible feeling and oddly enough it was MLK weekend when that happened. It's hard to believe that was a year ago already.

We also made a trip to Lowes today for child proofing materials and got started on that project. It's hard to believe how much stuff you need to do. We had a lovely visit from Rustam and his proud parents. When they were there it made us realize that we really need to get this done before a 1 year old comes home. Thank you Chris and Trish!!

I was trying to find a cool photo to add to this post and decided that it would be a good time to show our house. The only problem was that this is the only picture I have in my computer of the house. It was taken from about 700 feet while I was flying around the neighborhood in a military helicopter looking for illegal grow operations. Enjoy!!
