A few cute pictures to pacify my mother

Since the epic basement flood of 2010, I've been working a lot. So to soothe the blog faithful (my parents), here is a quick post with a few cute pictures until I have time for more.

Here is David with Sabrina, Ashley, Fiona, Olivia and Jackson at a mid day bbq at Fiona's house. Not pictured: the ridiculous spread that the nannies whipped up for these kids. It looked really good.

David and Kevin went to a Sox game last weekend. Here is our monkey practicing his base running and hitting.

On the Max front, I confirmed that our paperwork was dropped off at the consulate in Guangzhou today. Theoretically, this means that our Article 5 will be ready in exactly two weeks on August 19. After that we will be waiting for travel approval, the final step in this paperwork ridiculousness. The sooner we get that the better because travel in the month of October is definitely going to be limited due to holidays and special events in Guangzhou. There is a window in mid-September and another in mid-October when our agency will try to send families. Otherwise, we might end up waiting until November. Only time will tell.
