Adoption wise, things are slowly rolling along. We have our first home study appointment scheduled for early August so until then we're busy doing paperwork. We have a list of things that need to be completed for our home study, such as criminal checks, child abuse checks, medicals, passports, etc. so we've been chipping away at those. Criminal checks are done (and clean, whew!) and passports are on their way! For anyone who says every passport picture is bad, you obviously haven't seen this one:
We also filled out the application for our agency and I'm going to send it off on Monday! Woohoo! Then we can start working on our picture book as well as the home study! Lots of people have offered to donate things to our garage sale in September, which is awesome! I'm getting really excited about it! I am also seriously considering having Cassidy stand at the end of our driveway with a sign around her neck saying "Help make me a big sister". No? Yeah, like she'd stand still for that long anyway, but I'd challenge anyone to try and walk away from that!
In other news, we are loving the hot summer weather. I just love the heat. I love having an air conditioned house to escape from it when need be, but I try to soak up as much as I can. We have been to the spray park almost daily and we BBQ as much as we can. Our weekends have and will be packed with family time. I love it!! Today we shipped Cassidy off to Grandma and Grandpa's and John and I spent the day cleaning up our yard. We're both beat now, but it looks much better! Ah summer, please never leave.
Thanks for reading and thanks even more for the prayers! Keep it up!
Will Cassidy come along when you travel to pick up baby?
ReplyDeleteWe're not sure, it will all depend on how long we have to be down there. It will be 1-2 weeks
