Previo Numero Uno

William's file has been kicked out of PGN. It is no surprise really. We don't have our pre-approval so I knew we would get kicked out for that. That is exactly what we were kicked out for. On one hand, this is a good thing. Hopefully it means that they didn't find anything else wrong with our file so once we get our pre-approval and get resubmitted, we will be approved. Really, there is no reasoning behind PGN so this might not be the case at all. We still have several weeks, maybe about 6-8, before we expect to get our pre-approval. Until then, we can do nothing but wait. There is always the chance we will get our pre-approval, get back in PGN, and PGN will find something new and exciting to issue us a previo for.

The world of Marcus is an interesting one. He has decided that he hates dinner. He gets really excited for it and freaks out if we don't prepare it fast enough, but as soon as we put it in front of him he starts throwing a temper tantrum. I don't know what he is expecting us to be feeding him for dinner but apparently every night we don't meet his expectations. Both he and us (Greg and I) have roles that we play during this little game every evening. Marcus does his part by crying. Greg and I do our part by completely ignoring him. About 2-3 minutes of this goes on and then Marcus suddenly decides that whatever food we put in front of him is actually more appetizing than he original thought and he eats it.

Today was the annual picnic that our agency holds. We didn't attend last year because most of the activities were for children and Marcus was still in Guatemala last year. Most of the activities were still beyond the capabilities of Marcus but we still went. They had one of those big, inflatable jumping houses as well as some other giant inflatable jungle gym that we think was supposed to look like an airplane but looked more like a beached whale to me. There was also a craft table and lots of yummy food. We met up with our friends Melissa, Jon, and Grant and talked the afternoon away. Grant and Marcus are only 3 weeks apart in age and they had a good time playing along side each other. I left my camera in the car but Melissa and Jon snapped a few pictures that they promised to share.

Oh, I just checked Melissa's blog and she had pictures up early. I stole this one from her.

Picture stealer, lol! I uploaded the photos from the picnic to snapfish. Let me know if you need me to send them some other way. It was great to see you guys today! We had a really good time. I'm so glad we went. Next year should be a riot...the 4 of us and our 4 kids!!! Maybe they can plan in the crashed airplane next year. I'm sorry, but that thing was a hoot.
