The starting post


In the past week the following has happened:

Maya has started smiling like a crazy devil at us. At first it was a kind of grimace that flicked across her face, which we latched onto and responded with huge grins and cooing. She - clever girl - has responded in kind with true, ear-to-ear grins and twinkling eyes. Ahhh, she's just a doll.

Also, Ahmed's birth certificate got back from its round-the-world journey on April 17th, and we have got tourist visas and applied for our FM-3 visas. The latter involved fingerprints and very particular photos, black and white, front and profile, hair tied back, ears visible.

So, we've now applied for our visas, and have a two week (or so) wait until they are ready, and we can do the official stuff - court appearance, DIF interviews. It might be a bit tight if mum is to appear as one of our two witnesses at the court.
