Received 12/22/20

Status "in process" ever since.

I'm REALLY hoping that some of the luck I'm seeing here rubs off on us!

UPDATE:
2/14: Received email that passport was in process.
2/18: Received email from Passport office that passport application was approved, book was being printed, and estimated arrival would be 2/24.
