Healthy, Passport, & Sitting in a Fire Truck

After a trip to the ER with Ethan, another trip to the doctor with Jakob we are all back to being healthy. I have a follow up with my ear doctor tomorrow, but otherwise we are doing great. Ethan was confirmed to have an upper respitory infection. I don't really think they knew what he had. They did rule out RSV and pneomonia when we were in ER so that was good.

We have been working to Jakob's passport for the past 2 months. After a little trouble here and a lot of trouble there we finally have it. However there are stipulations. It is only good for 1 year They lost all of our original paperwork, so they issued it off the photo copies. My dad, Jakob and I spent the day Friday in Chicago trying to get it all worked out with them. However we have it right now and are good to leave on Friday to Costa Rica! YEA! A much needed vacation. They said they should be able to locate our paperwork at some point and will send it back. Then we can start the process all over. Let's hope. It is a long trip back to Ethiopia to get new paperwork.

Sunday we had a fundraiser for the Holland Area Fire Fighters. Rick took the boys to come visit. Jakob loved to run around and look at the trucks.

Wishing he could drive the big truck.

Trying to drive!

So unless we have a completely crazy day tomorrow or Thursday and have to tell you all about it. Our next post will be from Costa Rica.

Bon Voyage

Hugs & Kisses
