Neither a Trick nor a Treat

I promised this news yesterday, so here it goes. On Friday, Larry went to the mailbox and pulled out an envelope with the return address of USCIS. He thought that he was getting the golden ticket. Alas, it was a false alarm. Rather, it was a form letter asking for clarification in a few areas. These areas included:

1. They wanted more clarification regarding the age of the child we are requesting. A quick fix...not really to difficult to manage.
2. They wanted more information regarding the agency in charge of our home study. Again, not a big deal.
   
3. Located by a box marked "other" was a request for more information regarding the custodial arrangements for my biological daughter. This is proving quite tricky, since I don't have a daughter. Unless they are talking about the four animals that live with us. If that is the case, then they clearly live with me.

So, that last request has tripped us up. I'm pretty sure that I have never given birth. It's my understanding that I would most likely remember that. At this point, calls have been made and the situation is supposedly under control. We should have another packet off to the USCIS office by early next week.

And in my "the glass is half full" world, at least someone has started processing this paperwork. Luckily we have a lot of our dossier paperwork together already. So we will be ready to move forward when that golden ticket finally gets here.

Tonight was Halloween, one of my favorite nights of the year. We live in a neighborhood bombarded with trick-or-treaters. I know I handed out close to 1000 pieces of candy. Several of the people in the neighborhood dress up or go all out with the decorations. This year, we had a Harry Potter theme (imagine that). Tobie proudly wore her wizard's cloak, but had to go inside. I don't think she enjoyed everyone petting her. I dressed up as Tonks, from the Harry Potter books, complete with pink hair and magic wand. Here a picture of me and my buddy Kyler and one more of Tobie.

I do not normally wear so much eye makeup.

Please stop making me dress up!!!!
