'Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty, I am free at last' (MLK).
As most of you already know we have our GREEN CARD!! WhooHoo!! I can actually apply for a SSN card. I can't tell you what a big weight it is off our shoulders that we now can't get kicked out of the country. I think we will have to throw a party.
It's been a really great month. We had an awesome visit with Ted's sister Soula and her kids. It was great to have all the kids hang out and little Alex provided us with tons of laughs. I can't believe ten days went by so fast. Hopefully we can do it again sometime soon. In the photo are Hera, Kallista, Alex, Athena and Isi.
The kids are all doing great, just passing there cold onto me. I advise anyone who has a bit of a cold not to try 'hot yoga'. I thought it would help me sweat it out, it sure did, I was on the couch the whole next day and even had to go to the doctor to treat an eye infection. Thank goodness I am feeling better now, maybe I had a lot of toxins to release.
Today is one of the most exciting days for us because Ted is driving back from Seattle as I write this with two gorgeous wheaten pups, Clara and Jackson. It was getting too difficult to try and get them on the plane and noway were we putting little pups in cargo, so Ted decided to drive. I don't know how we are all going to sleep tonight! Ted will make it home tomorrow evening hopefully close to diner time.
As for me, I started a dog grooming course since these pups are going to cost a small fortune to groom. So far I have completed the first two tests. It is really exciting and liberating for me to do something like this since I have been home taking care of kids for so long. Maybe it'll even turn into a paying at home job down the road. The coolest thing is I can do pretty much the whole course over the Internet during my own time.
With some exciting weeks ahead I can hopefully find the time to share with you all more pictures and stories. Take care!
Love The Sfikas Family
