Well, I've been a bad blogger. We spend all of our time taking care of Arabella and blogging isn't on the top of my priority list (Sorry, Aunt Liz). My nieces Kayla and Lyndsey informed me that Antigua looked neat, but that they just wanted to see more pictures of Bella. I'll try to do better. We got the good news this morning that we have Arabella's new birth certificate now (we have a copy). We are listed as her parents and her last name is now Boster! We are being submitted for her passport today, and then there are just a few more steps after that. If we keep going at this pace, Bella will be home in a month!
Please pray for us and our finances as we have decided it would be best for Bella if we just stayed a few extra weeks until we can bring her home. Since it is happening sooner than we expected, it would be silly for me to fly home and turn right around and fly back 2 - 3 weeks later. So, it looks like we (Mom and I) will be staying in GU for a while longer. This way Bella won't have to live with her foster family (as wonderful as they are) again. Also, please pray for them as they adore Arabella and were expecting to "have" her for a couple more months before they had to tell her goodbye. I dread the day they say goodbye to her; it will be awful! We promised them that we will come back to GU in a few years to visit, and we will. GU is a beautiful place, and we want Arabella to be proud of the country she was born in.
I'll update you when I hear about each step we get done and on when to expect us home!
Love and blessings,
The Boster Family (all 3 of us)

Hey, just thought of somthing Geneo said and wanted to share it with you, he said in some of Bella's pictures he thinks she looks a little like Tammy did when she was little, thought that was kinda neat. God Bless.
