First Full Day as 4

Yesterday was our first full day all together. It was a good day. Payson is adjusting well to us and we are adjusting well to her. We are starting to learn her different cries and attempting to figure out her schedule. She is still sleeping well at night. She lays down without a fuss and goes to sleep on her own within about 10 minutes of laying down at night. We are still trying to figure out her food and nap schedule. When she eats, she eats like it will be her last meal. We learned that this is a trait of an orphanage child. This morning she actually slowed down a bit and had more trust that we would be feeding her again. She is also teething right now. She has 3 teeth coming in, but is being quite tolerable of the pain. We are giving her Tylenol every 4 hours to help with the pain. Please pray that we continue to understand her schedule and cries.

We had a very productive day yesterday in regards to completing all needed paperwork to come home. We received her updated birth certificate and then we applied for her expedited passport and will receive it on Monday. She had blood taken so that she will be ready for her physical on Monday. The next step is to have our interview with the US Embassy. Please pray that we get that interview on Tuesday. Once the interview happens then the US Embassy can issue our visa for her within 2-3 days. This means that we can come home as soon as we get that visa. Praise God for our wonderful attorney and Hopscotch staff. Pray for a smooth process moving forward so that we can go ahead and come home. I will update you on our interview date on the next blog post hopefully. Thank you!

Love-
