Lots to do

Well, we are just on hold, waiting to see if the additions that the home study social worker provided to USCIS will be enough and we can get our visas and get on with life!  The problem is that when the ok for the visas comes there will be a lot to do very quickly....we will have to travel again to Dar to do our US approved physicals, get our paperwork in order there, get back to Arusha, make sure our house is packed and the movers have all come to get our stuff (and there is a LOT of stuff) and get on the plane. 

So, there will not be much time to do the things we always were planning on but never got around to, or to say goodbye to the people that we love.  So....even though we don't have our visas yet, we are doing our goodbyes now.

Today, we have numerous things to do.  We went to Cradle of Love because Mommy had clothes and other baby stuff to drop off for the kids there.  And, we hadn't seen Davona in such a long time.  We had a quick chat with her at her house and then we were off again.  Here is Davona with Staci and Mariah (her adopted daughter and her hopefully soon to be adopted daughter). 

Then, we headed into Moshi for an Indian feast at Uncle Gogo's favorite restaurant.  After that, we got lost in the bush for a while. True story.  We were on our way to Maji Moto, a hot spring oasis in the middle of the bush that Mommy used to frequent when she wasn't soooo burdened down and was a bit more free wheeling.  But, Mommy has never had to drive there and it really is not easy.  Like, 'turn at the bush that looks like a pumpkin and go straight for a few minutes until you see a ravine, cross it and drive straight' kind of directions.  And, there is no road, just intuition to get you through.  Anyway....we did find maji moto after a while and Uncle Gogo and Aki got in.  We'll try to go back again sometime soon. 

Anyway....busy days!
