Zee black hole de PGN

Sorry it's been a while since our last update....but my excuses are:

1. My mom fell and broke her hip (not recommended by the way....VERY painful!)


2. We got into PGN but haven't really had any updates.

But alas, my public beckons and I comply... as it happens, I do have a few quick updates:

1. PGN - the latest


2. More cute pictures of the sweetest, cutest little enchilada you've ever seen


3. Paris Hilton is finally out!

PGN - the latest
We received an update yesterday that said "Still in PGN...since 05/31/07" If you don't remember what PGN is, its the Guatemalan attorney general's office and our last big step of the process. It's known as the "black hole" however because some people get in and out in a couple months, for others it can take 6 months or more. :( And there ain't a dad-blamed thang you can do about it...just pray and wait and pray and wait.

We have some other friends who were submitted to PGN around the same date we were. Some have already had a "KO"--kick out. That means some PGN reviewer found something they didn't like in the docs and so kicked the docs out. Now the adoptive parents' attorney has to address any issues or mistakes that need to be corrected. So it's a good thing that we haven't been kicked out yet....but it can get a little nerve racking to ponder that we might get kicked out at 8 weeks or 12 weeks and then have to wait an additional 8 -10 weeks where as others have gotten kicked out much sooner, and have been resubmitted much sooner. Anyway, it doesn't help to fret over this....we have control...may not get any kick outs, who knows?

Cute pictures of our enchilada
Here are more pictures for those of you who just couldn't stand not seeing Kaden for another month. They sent us a few more pictures recently along with a very short video. But before I show you that, I wanted to share the bible verse I have been praying for Kaden.

"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He wil quiet you with his love. He will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17 (KJV)

At the last update our sweet little boy was a whopping 16.5 lbs! I'm trying to do more arm curls in preparation but I'm only up to 10 lbs thus far...not sure I can keep up!

Also some dear friends had a shower for me last weekend (my first ever!) Kaden is getting some great loot. Now we just need to get him home so he can start using it !

On the top left are Lisa, Me, Penny and Lesley. :) On the right are diapers that have uh, encouragements? and advice written on them. :)

Paris Hilton is finally out!
If you zoomed down to this section for an update, you really need to get a life! Kaden is SOOOOOO much more important than this! :) And so are all of you!

Mom didn't want her picture on my blog this time, but I am thankful to report she is doing well. It's been a tough month but she is a fighter and has worked hard at her physical therapy. Please pray for her continued healing and strength.

Have a great week.
Susan
