Now I demand recent David pictures ;-) Have fun in England! I've heard now is a tough time to get passports since recent laws requiring them to go to and from Canada/Mexico (or some such...too lazy to Google), so there are a lot more people than usual applying.
Unfortunately when we heard about the passport issues back in March we applied as quickly as we could. Both parents have to be there so we had to wait until Steve had a day off. It was only like a week. We still had 11 before our trip so we thought we'd be ok. They're still saying things on their website that aren't true like it takes 4 weeks for people to get in the tracking system - it took david about 7 weeks. The other is that people are getting passports in 10-12 weeks. Well that doesn't seem to be happening. Also the people on the phone were very nice but we first spoke to someone 2 weeks ago about it and they were supposed to tag our application for expediting. They said we didn't need an appt at an office. One week later when nothing had changed we called again and they still said we didn't need an appt but we made one anyway. The earliest we could get was one the day we were leaving. This is causing both of a lot of stress - we are so nervous that something will go wrong. We've also had to scramble to get duplicate

Our first trip to RI since the end of 2005. My mother's been giving me all sorts of "I wanna see my new grandson" guilt.

Cool. I can stop feeling guilty that I can't visit you on this trip. ;)
