Big Brother Update..............

Sylvia's Emigration Permit (aka Exit Permit) was requested on Wednesday, August 20th. This is her Korean passport which is good only for a one way trip to the United States. I am told they expect to get it in 3-4 weeks. After that I would expect another 3-4 weeks until she arrives. That would place her here at my current prediction of the end of October. Maybe we will be able to get her a Halloween costume. I wonder what she wants to be............

The great City of Elizabeth was disappointing. I bought the dresser but I was unable to get the crib bedding set at Babies R Us across from Ikea. They did not have the one I wanted and I was hoping to save the 1/2 sales tax. Instead I had to buy the bedding today at Burlington Coat Factory since it was the same price as Babies R Us online-gee, Burlington is supposed to be a discount place too, hmmmm. Ikea also provided us with some cute decorations but that's it.

Nanny watched Mr. No Naps yesterday while I removed most of the wallpaper in Sylvia's room. I am very fortunate it was not difficult or messy to get off. I need someone else to watch Mr. No Naps for me so I can get the rest off soon. The wall is not even a mess underneath and is ready for painting. Since I chose the crib set now, I can choose the colors as soon as Gabriel says it is ok, he is the boss after all. I am thinking pink and yellow. Well, definitely pink anyway, I can't decide.

Gabriel has been not sleeping at night (screaming actually) and he is Mr. No Naps during the day.

So since I already gave up sleeping this shouldn't be a problem for me but I miss sleeping, at least a little.
