More Disny Pics and 1st day of School

WOW, it's been awhile

I can't believe it's been so long since our last post. Time sure has gotten away from us this past summer. I guess I need to do a quick recap of our summer. June and July were pretty much a blur with chaotic baseball schedules. Our Disney trip was a much needed break during the middle of July. We had a blast as usual . The boys soon realized that the end of the trip also pretty much marked the end of their summer break.

We got the two older boys in school around the 2nd week of August. I can't believe I have a Jr. High er. Where does the time go?

On the adoption front, referrals are still coming VERY slowly. CCAA is still matching 2005 LID's. Hopefully they will finish Nov. 2005 with the next batch and I pray they will move into 2006 LID's by the first of the year. We are hoping to travel before 2010. Ugh, that sounds so far away. We've been keeping busy with updating our homestudy. We have a homevist this Friday with our wonderful social worker, Julia. She is absolutely wonderful! We think our paperwork (dossier) should be reviewed and approved before the end of the year, so that's exciting news for us. Right now CCAA is reviewing dossiers that were logged in during August 2006, so ours is next! Yeah us!!

We celebrated our 1 yr LID anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 8th. We attended an adoption seminar hosted by our agency. It was good for us to go and talk with other adoptive families. It keeps it real for us. There are some days that this doesn't seem like it will ever happen, but we just have to keep our faith in the Lord and know there is a reason behind this excruciating wait.

I promise we will do better at updating. Thanks for coming by!!
