Paperchase update

Well.. we've been cruising on the paperwork.  All but one doc in the books!  Just waiting on David's medical sheet!  His blood pressure was high at his visit, so his orders are to take his BP the next two weeks, and we'll put the average.  Should be lower, going to the Dr can raise it!  And I did a pretty good job on picking a Dr up here.  Big office and a lab right in it!  Love that you don't have to go somewhere else.  The NP was great too.  Seems we'll be served well there.  Next to find a dentist.

Last week I sent my Birth Certificate to the Nassau County Clerk.  There is an added step to certification for NY and GA documents.  weeee...  not happy about that.  Once they do their thing, then I'll send it to Albany where they'll do their thing, then it goes to the Chinese Consulate.. where.. as you guessed, they'll do their thing.  All this is to certify that our Dossier Docs are the real deal.  We did this last time, just not that county step that is required.

Today I sent our marriage license and my Employment Verification Letter to the FL Dept of State.  Don't need county thingy there.  They'll certify them, and then I'll send them to the Chinese Consulate for our region when I have the GA docs done.  Houston.. yes the Chinese Consulate for the SE is in Houston.. odd huh.  Atlanta just makes more sense.. you'd think.  That is the same as it was before, so nothing new there.

Let's see.. what else.  Oh.. biggie.  The social worker came out this past Saturday to meet us and get the Home Study going.  Her name is Heather, and she gave me an idea for rewarding good behavior.  We are now using star stickers.  For every 10 stars Robyn earns for doing good deeds.  Things like, doing something the first time I ask, being kind, doing things without us asking.  Stuff like that.  Anyway for every 10 she can pick an item from the treasure box.  It's mostly fun things from the dollar store.. stickers, little toys, rings.  Fun stuff.  After 5 trips, she gets something bigger.  Trip to Yogli Mogli (froz yogurt), Bouncy place stuff like that.  If she doesn't listen or like yesterday is extremely difficult at the store.. ARGH.  she can loose stars.  Seems to be working.

So.. there ya go.  We are moving along fairly well.  Feel like things are moving a bit faster than last time.  Not sure why, but it seems so.
