Future International Travelers


We hope to expose the girls to a lot, including international travel. To begin this exposure sooner rather than later, we are traveling to Vermont and Montreal at the end of the summer. Since the State Department now requires passports for travel to Canada, we had to get them for the girls. Taking passport photos was a chore, holding up a baby in front of a white background and trying to keep my hands and the girls' hands out of the picture. I knew Evelyn's photos would be rejected, but sent them in anyways (thinking maybe the government would give us a break since they are tiny babies.

So, we tried to retake the picture of Evelyn ourselves. It sort of worked, but then our printer ran out of ink. This time I went to a different drug store and they had a better method for taking the picture -- set the baby down on a white poster board. Genius!


We've resubmitted her passport request, let's hope it arrives by August 27th!
