When we were applying for Daisha's passport, we had an awful time with her passport photos. They were denied for having a little bit of a shadow and for not being able to see her ears behind her ridiculously chubby cheeks. Ultimately, I think we had to end up proving scientifically that seeing her ears behind her chubby cheeks defied all laws of physics and they finally relented a passport. Anyways, we are back at it again with Danae, but this time we hope its a one time shot. But, in an effort to help guarantee it as a one time shot, we went through 3 battles of pictures. The first picture we took was too close. I took it to CVS to print, but the picture wasnt good enough and they wanted to charge me $10 for 2 little pictures that I took. So, we took some more pictures, only to find out that Keri's hands, which were holding down Danae's hands, were in the picture. 3rd times a charm, we got a pic and we are hoping that it is good enough to get accepted the first time. We got the application sent off today and now we are in waiting mode for the passport. After we get the passport, we need to get her visa at the Jamaican consulate and then we should be ready to go. Maybe in 4 weeks or so.
P.S. - Here is the end of the story of CVS wanting to charge me $10 for 2 little 2x2 photos. I ended up putting the 2 little 2x2 pictures on to one 4x6 and then went to CVS to print the 4x6. So, at the same store, same machine, same product, I got for $.31 what they wanted to charge me $10. That is a good Jamaican experience right here in Leo, IN.
