I also still find it amazing that you must have a license to drive a car, keep a pet, go hunting or fishing (in some places, maybe not all?), hold certain jobs, etc., but to be a parent--- you can jus

it's great to hear the little one is doing so well, if he takes after his father he'll be a very punny fellow, no doubt.

I don't think people mean harm by their comments...It's just that us parents are so enamored with our child/ren that sometimes we lose perspective and forget it is not for everyone... And there is so much more to having a baby that you don't know about until you have one - child development is seriously amazing! How that little brain matures and seeing them learn and figure things out for the first time... makes you want to share it with the world.

Saludos,

Caro

***Justin And Caro***
Happily married and enjoying our life together!

Seriously? Kids are the best. We have 4. We do not need any new ones and now we enjoy our grandchildren. Wind them up and give them back! :lol: They never stop being fun, even when they are no longer kids!

Sergey comes back from college in Moscow for the summer next Sunday! :dance: We're going to shoot ALL the guns!

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!

We'd love to have kids but with a 14-month deployment looming around the corner, we'd rather not even try because there's no way I am going to be pregnant and raise a baby by myself!

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png
