a little irony

Lando

The paperwork process is upon us. Your Dad and I were just fingerprinted, again, for USCIS. This means we are also about to redo our homestudy, which will expire in March. Although we would like to think you will be home by then, we have to begin the process, just in case. YEAH paperwork!

The good news is after having our fingerprints scanned, we got to have lunch with your Aunt Jennie and A. This also allowed us to stop at my favorite book store. While there we were able to add a couple of titles our book wishlist for you. We also picked up a new book for you. (Too bad we don't live closer, because in October, Taye Diggs will be there signing.) I read it while in the store, I really like it.

Finally, your Dad and I were supposed to go to a picnic this afternoon with other families adopting from Ethiopia. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go, but I had already made what we were going to take.

That's right, Rocky Road Cake Pops. I was going through a new cake pop "recipe" book and your Dad saw the one for the Rocky Road Cake Pops and thought they sounded great. So I made them. While crumbling the cake I thought about the irony of taking something called "Rocky Road" to an adoption picnic. A little symbolism, maybe? 
Love,
Mom
