First Step to a Dream

Today was the first step in a dream of our family. Someday we'd like to travel overseas and visit our friends in China and Papa New Guinea. We realized we can't even dream about tickets if we don't have a passport. So, to that end, we all saved since last spring towards the goal of getting passports. This month was a special on passport photos and everyone had their money, so we set the date. Today!!
First stop was the photo lab for the passport photos. Darling did great! It took a couple shots, but with her phobia of cameras, I was really worried we wouldn't get one at all.
Next stop was Vital Records at our county office.

These ladies were sweet and so patient! What a blessing!!
We had to check everyone's height. Darling wanted her baby's height checked as well. Cute! :-)Finished Product!! We couldn't find Dh's birth certificate, and he is from out of state. So, we will need to do some more checking. The rest of us have our passport applications in!! (Dot already has her's from last year's mission trip.) PTL!!
