It came!!!

My long awaited visa arrived at 10am this morning, thank you God!

The Waiting Game

When will my visa show up? Who knows. So now we wait with great anticipation. It could come in two days, it could come in ten days, it could come in twenty days. One way or the other, there will be great rejoicing and cartwheels when it comes at long last.

(By the way, I love this picture of my 11th graders. It characterizes them so well. I love that class.)

My nephew fix

The Blomquist family has been blessed with three strapping young men added to the family in the past 3.5 years (4, according to Jake). Joshua is my sister's son, and Jacob and Noah (pictured right) are my brother's boys. As I have had to come back to the US for my visa, I've taken advantage of the time I have to visit these adorable nephews of mine. I had been feeling like I was missing out on so much of their cuteness, knowing that they change so fast at this age, and so I took the opportunity to go and visit all three of them this past week. Can I just share some of their cuteness with the world? My sister and brother-in-law and my brother and sister-in-law are all very adorable, too, but somehow I didn't get many pictures of them. Sorry, guys! I really enjoyed my time with you, too!
