Happy Fourth

Happy Fourth of July! Wherever you are or whatever you are doing today enjoy!
We are embarking on a family trip to Utah, minus Tianna, who has elected to stay home to play on the Softball All Star Team. Yes, the Birth Certificate debacle was resolved. I spent countless hours of time gathering certificates, copies of school and hospital records, and several letters, all of which needed to be notarized, in addition to a certificate declaring promotion from one level to another of Sunday School. All of these documents trumped the Birth Certificate and Passport. Go figure. At any rate, I called the Eastern Regional Little League office in Bristol, CT just to make sure I had what I needed (because the District Administrator wasn't sure what qualified in certain categories...) and then after all of that got an email saying all the "in lieu of"documentation (all those things I ran my booty off to get) weren't necessary in our case after all.
So, in looking at the bright side, my daughter knows beyond shadow of a doubt that I would do anything to make this possible for her. Never mind that I didn't pack till eleven pm yesterday...
So we are off to Utah. I am hoping the skies are friendlier to fly than they were last week, and looking forward to some time with Howie and Nicole.

Blessings.
