On Saturday we finally were able to go in and apply for Emma's passport.  When a child is under 16 you have to have both parents there to do it.  Since Derrel has been out of town so much this was our only chance.  It was fun to get another step closer!!  Funny thing though  (well, it wasn't very funny to me till now), later that night we were showing Uncle Roo and his fiancé, Lisa, her picture for her passport and realized that we didn't have her birth certificate and figured, well hoped, that we left it at the post office.  This morning I called the post office to see if it was there.  They told me they didn't see it and they would call me if they found it.  I called Derrel, worried about what to do and he said he would call them again and see what he could find out.  Come to find out, they keep your birth certificate and send it in with the application and then it is mailed back to you with the passport.  Wish the guy I talked to would have just said that, I must have talked to the wrong person. YAY! I can breath again.

Hmm, picture of the picture so not super clear but here is her passport picture:)

Also, I forgot to post that Auntie Kirsten donated $20.  She decided that she would rather donate that money rather than buy butter braids where Emma would only get a small portion of it.  THANK YOU AUNTIE KIRSTEN!! ($3715 to go)
