Waiting...

Our case file was sent for homestudy assignment last week. We should hear from someone in the next couple of weeks to schedule the homestudy.

Who knows how far out they schedule the homestudy appointment. We have some things to get done. We have about 1/2 of the boxes out of one of the bedrooms! Dave turned in some old books & videos and got some money towards his PS2. It's not a PS3, but it is better then nothing.

ALL the dogs are now sleeping in crates. We bought a little one for Gracie. We tried to keep her off the new couches but it wasn't happening. So now she sleeps in her crate at night and all day. It makes for a better night sleep for us, not having a dog in the middle!

We are now entering the busy, I mean Holiday season! We wonder how busy it will get. Will have have a lonely Christmas or a wild & crazy kid filled Christmas. A lot is still unknown and we'll just trust our Heavenly Father that he knows best!

11 years and counting

We went to Oklahoma City for the weekend to celebrate our 11th anniversary (9/7). We had a blast. Got a good deal on a room - thanks to a friends & family discount because of bro-in-law David. We went to the Bombing Memorial & Museum - highly recommend it!! A must see! Bring the tissues. Very moving! We shopped and ate and walked and rode the watertaxi! We had Marie Callenders (brought home some pies!) and drove through a little town called Blanchard. My Great Grandma lived here before getting married in OK City and moving to Long Beach California! I visited the grave site of my Great Great Grandparents and saw lots of others I'm related to.

We hope this is our last anniversary alone. Next year we either take the kids or get a babysitter. And speaking of kids, we got an email back from our CPS person. We are missing just 3 papers that need signing. She also didn't get our fingerprints - which we did a long time ago. She is looking in the system for that - it's all done electronically. Still no idea how long before our homestudy. So we just hurry up and wait. We are trying to dejunk until then. Making more room for the kids stuff!

Until next time...
