The Moroccan side is FINISHED!

Yesterday we spent the entire day in the courthouse with two babies and a lively 6 year old. We spent the majority of the time in the hallways. The concrete courthouse has no air conditioning and no fans! It was sooooooooooooo hot!!! It was 105 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Finally after 5 hours we were drenched in sweat but we were finished.
The next adventure is getting the visas done. We have a form here that we have to mail out (can't do it before Monday) to Germany where a satelite office that did our homestudy is located. Once they receive that form, then they can mail the homestudy. Once we receive the homestudy, we can apply for their visas. Typically it takes 25 days but since we are with the embassy, most of our requirements have been met (background checks, etc) but we leave the country the 27th. We would appreciate prayers that this all works out.
The girls had a check up and vaccinations today. They had most of their vaccines already but they needed 3. They cried and cried and cried! Leah is 20 lbs and Leila is 17 lbs. They are healthy and are doing great. I am so amazed at how far they've come in the past 4 months. They went from being developmentally behind in everything to being right where they need to be at this age.
Today Josh got an award. It was the Joint Service Achievement Medal, or JSAM. Here are some pictures:
