It's Almost February Already!

It's almost February already, where has January gone? Aside from a sniffle here and there we are on the mend and back into our daily routine. We have filled out our home study application and will be sending it in on Monday (January 28, 2008). I am not sure what to expect during the home study. I have heard that it is not big deal and I have heard they are very intrusive. I guess it depends on the agency and the social worker you are assigned. Eventhough I am a little nervous about this part I am really excited to see what questions they are going to ask us and the assignments they are going to be giving us. I think that is the psychologist in me.

I have started scrapbooking Lawson as a baby, I would like to have Lawson and Eli's books caught up by time we bring Kennedy home. Ha, Ha, Ha, is't that a funny idea. Rudy bought me a pink scrapbook for Kennedy. The idea of pink in my house is so exciting.

Happy New Year

Christmas was difficult both boys got sick. Eli got sick the second day we were in Buffalo; he had a viral infection and was miserable. Lawson started getting sick on Christmas day and eventually ended up with bronchitis and a double ear infection. Since both boys were sick we ended cutting our trip short. We couldn't wait to get home and get well.

When we arrived at home a packet from our adoption agency was waiting for us. We were so excited it was there, but it took us a few day till we could sit down and look at the material together. The packet was from our consultant and contained all the information we need to complete our dossier, the USCIS paperwork, etc.

Yesterday I spoke with our consultant on where and how start all this paperwork. WOW!!! This is going to be a very busy year gathering documents with 2 children. In the next couple days we are going to be contacting our home study agency to start that process. I am already feeling a little overwhelmed!

Rudy has started back at school, he is teaching to classes on top of doing research and guiding his students. I am sure he will have another great semester.

2008 is going to be an amazing year!!!
