Another week

Wow another week has gone by since I last posted. Believe it or not, we still are dealing with sickness around our home. The good news is that Sarah and Joshua seem to be getting better with their colds. The bad news is that I seem now to be the one down and out with a bad head cold. So the adults that are healthy enough seem to be handling childcare during the day and we somehow are getting through this.
Yesterday, Jeff and I drove down to Bern Switzerland to register Joshua as a U.S. citizen. It is weird to think that at almost two months old he has no country to call his own. We decided to head down to Bern because Frankfurt is such a long drive for us and the process we were told was quicker in Bern. I had called the embassy in Bern and was sent all of the paper work so I had everything filled out. Once we arrived, we were aloud to register him even though he wasn't born in Switzerland. Since we were alrady there, they couldn't turn us away. We were also told that we could wait longer for his passport to arrive, maybe up to two months because they had to send all the information on up to Frankfurt to be processed. So goes life living internationally and dealing with all the wonderful international laws. We are praying that his passport will come sooner than they made it out to be.
