At this point we feel like we are waiting for nothing to happen. . .We are in a 5 day wait for our court documents at which time there will be a mad dash to compile some documents, get some things notorized and send them off for our son's Canadian Citizenship. The Citizenship is the part of the process that does not have a definite timeline. It can take anywhere from 24 hours to 24 days to receive this document. We are told to expect about 2 weeks on average lately. Then we settle in for our last wait which is the passport. After Citizenship the passport shuold take about 5-7 working days to be issued.
Although waiting is hard we are thankful for so many things. We are thankful for this lovely home we have to rent which has ample room for all of us. (In a following post I will send some pictures). We continue to be thankful that the kids are doing so well(though we are in need of some more routine). We are most thankful for our son who could not be adjusting better. We see him open up with more smiles each day.
Today we were able to witness a popular event here in Durban. Our host warned us major streets would be closed for the "Comrade Marathon" this Sunday. After a short walk up our street(though it seemed longer as I am carrying an extra 30+ pounds these days in baby weight) we came upon quite the party!
This Marathon in one of the largest and longest running in the world. This year over 21000 people started the race. They have 12 hours to finish running about 90km.

We were there earlier in the morning so only a couple runners ran by every couple of minutes. The girls went back with Adam in the afternoon and they were coming by in large clusters of runners by then and the streets had filled in with spectators. People had brought there Braai's and drinks for the day. One group had even had there street party catered.
Highlights of this post-
1. Finding rest at our new home. We are set to stay here for 3 weeks if needed and it's nice to have some consistency!
2. Watching our children play together. As our son warms up we see lots of smiles and interactions. He has a jolly laugh when the girls tickle him.
3. Seeing all the firsts! First taste of ice cream! I think he liked it!
Fun to have something unique to do today as you wait!!
