Great News!!!

Happy Father's Day Dad! We love you! We're thankful for all that you do for us!

This weekend we found out that the petition we filed to immigration for Ritchell's mom has been approved! So the next step is for her file to go to Manila where she has to get an interview for a visa. There are a few more things she'll need to do, like medical exams, financial support affidavits, etc. But a major step has been completed! We hope to have her here just after we get into our new house.

Other good news.... AnaBelle is turning 1 year old on Saturday! We can hardly believe it's already been a year having her around. I think it has been the best year of our lives. She is such a joy to have with us.

This Saturday we are throwing a huge party for her. Anyone who wants to can come and celebrate with us! Give us a call for details. If you are reading this and know our phone number or email, you're invited!

Sorry for the lack of pictures in this post. My laptop got water spilled on its keyboard and is temporarily out of service. I cleaned it out and it was working, but then the next day half of the keyboard was fried. I should have a new keyboard soon.

Our house is moving along smoothly. Today we have roofers putting on shingles. Tomorrow we have insulation being put in and soffit and fascia being installed. On Wednesday, we start the drywall and stone/stucco. At the rate we're getting it done, we might be able to move in mid-August!
