'Allo?

We still don't know if we will travel next week, but we still need to operate as if we will.  Friday we finished up travel clinic appointments - oww, my aching arms.  We also received our official notice of provisional approval in the mail yesterday which I quickly scanned and sent to FANA, I really don't know if sending this will help.  Gotta try!

The file that the US Embassy need to issue us final approval (Article 5) is going to be received at the National Visa Center on Monday, then they update the system.  I know because I have been watching the UPS tracking thanks, again, to Officer Bethany.  I don't know how long it will take the National Visa Center to process the package, but if they can have Monday as a gimme since the US Embassy in Colombia is closed for a holiday.

While we wait, we have had the pleasure of Skyping with Josie both Thursday and Friday mornings.  It's been great.  Friday, Josie said both Momma and Pappa which melted my heart.  She showed great excitement for the little toy car she was playing with - that just put a toy car on my shopping list.  At one point the phone rang and she put her hand to her ear and said 'allo?'  It was super cute!  Enjoy a few shots I was able to capture from Friday's session.  Disclaimer - I am totally scary as I did this from my phone shortly after a shower.

Here Josie is blowing kisses.  Mwwa!

Juanita had to look up the word 'ticklish' on Google Translate to describe Josie.  Then she demonstrated.  Lucy was very excited because she also loves being tickled.

Here, Josie is discussing her love of online trading.

More silliness.  I don't remember what was the joke here.

My favorite.

Lucy is showing Josie how she eats yogurt.  I love that this kept Josie's attention.
