CUTE pics...

I just got these pictures forwarded to me from an adoptive family get together in June. Aren't they cute? :) Thanks Dave!

Fall Fun...

We've had fun doing all the fall fun things. We did the corn maze, picked pumpkins, went to the haunted GT lighthouse, picked apples, went for a hike in the woods, ate pumpkin donuts and drank apple cider. :) I LOVE fall. :)

Night-Night, Sleep Tight

Tonight at bedtime...

What a relief!!

Apparently, our agency was confused about dates in our files. They were using one date, when they should have been using another. Doesn't make sense, I know, but the bottom line is that our wait will NOT be 2-3 years. In fact, I think we're around number 7 in line for a referral.

Gladney still hasn't received any referrals from Taiwan for our program, but the director is in China/Taiwan right now asking for referrals. Hopefully, we'll start to see some movement in our program.

Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. It seems as though things are back on track for bringing Chloe home! :)

Settling in for a long wait..

Well, it looks like this wait is going to be longer than we thought. Potentially A LOT longer than we thought. Today, our agency told us 2-3 years. I believe they're giving us an ultra-conservative quote, but it was still very, very hard to hear. We've requested more information and will post when we know more.

Phew....

Hats off to working moms...seriously, how do you do it?

As part of my social work degree, I'm doing an internship at a local adoption agency (which so far I LOVE). Yesterday was my first day (I'll work either one or two days a week). I dropped the kids off at school at 9 am, went to the internship, worked for just 5 hours, ran an errand, then back to school at 4 pm to pick up the kids. Definitely an abbreviated day, compared to most.

Anyway, I was absolutely EXHAUSTED when I got home last night. It's. Not. Easy.

Funny of the Day...

I saw this on another blog and laughed!! Too funny. :)

Have a great weekend!
