Has anyone seen our Passports?

Here it is May 25 and our passports have not arrived. We were scheduled to leave June 1st, but somehow that does not seem to be promising. I did receive an email tonight, however, that the U.S. Department of State has forwarded my urgent request for answers on the status of our passports to the Houston office. What a relief, you know how fast the government is, I'm sure they'll be at my doorstep tomorrow morning! The only other snag is that the Qatari government hasn't decided if they are going to let David stay or not (as he is patiently waiting for us to follow). They have yet to give him medical clearance. Sometimes I wonder if we are really going at all.
