still no news from Africa

As of Friday when the passport office closed, there was still no list indicating who will receive the upcoming passports. The passport office is open and issuing passports daily... just not quickly enough for this daddy and mommy whose baby has several teeth and just got his first big boy haircut. We're still hoping for a February voyage to pick up our 3 Liberian-Americans, but we'll have to "see what tomorrow brings" (which suddenly has me reliving my childhood with Peter, Paul, & Mary filling our home). Anyway, we have more than enough to keep us busy if we can just stay focused. That probably means that I (Becky) should get off the couch and actually accomplish something on my day off... now that it's after noon!
