Soooo cute!

The Latest

Once again, we have heard back from the government regarding Martha and Julia's immigration paperwork. Julia's health check was fine, and apparently the government is now satisfied that we are indeed living together as husband and wife, but they had further questions about Martha's health check. The doctor who examined Martha for immigration found a very slight heart murmur and the government wants her to see a specialist to make sure it is nothing serious.

Thankfully, we had already been to see the specialist a few days before the governments request arrived. The specialist said she has an "innocent heart murmur," i.e. not one to be worried about. Now we are waiting for the specialist's office to send his report to Martha's GP so we can get a copy of the report and send it to my immigration agent who will send it to the government.

Hypothetically, this should be the last of it; apparently the government has asked for everything they could legally. Once Martha's health is approved it should only be a matter of having Martha and Julia's passports evidenced with their Oz visas
with a special sticker. I believe the evidencing should only take a couple of days, but we'll see.


Below are a few of the latest pics!


Edwin and Elva Salmon, members of our congregation who live in the city of Ulverstone, were in Launceston so they stopped by for a visit. Edwin had a chance to "nurse" the baby for the first time.


Julia took to Edwin very well and gave him a few big smiles. I tried to catch them on the camera but the digital delay always brought me in a hair too late.


They had quite a conversation.


Hangin' with the guys.


Here is Little One sleeping in her car seat/baby carrier.

That's all for now.

The Lord Jesus Christ bless you all!

Do you have to wait till you hear back from immigration before Martha can book a ticket?

Julia is so sweet and happy!
