Paperwork, Paperwork, Paperwork....

This past week has been a flurry of emails, scanning documents, home study addendum, and finally figuring out the dossier paperwork that needs to be updated!  Wow, it was a busy week, and we survived!  It's all done, we just need to get our documents notarized and then sent off for authentication. 

I have been feeling like I can't rest until it's done.  Restlessness is an awful, stressful  feeling.  We have been up until way past our bed time getting things done for our agency, so this weekend we are stopping all adoption talk & activity to focus all of out time and energy on our three beautiful ladies!  We have a birthday to celebrate, a special girl turning 7!  We are so blessed to have 3 sweet girls who understand that adopting is a ton of work.  We WILL bring their baby sister home, someday.  We can pick back up with adoption business on Monday.

Our snowman from the last winter storm.  He has grapes for eyes and an orange pepper for the nose.  Eventually he had a celery mouth and a cute hat.  We weren't prepared for snowman making, no carrots in the house.  Poor guy didn't last long until our old pup jumped up to eat the yummy fruit and veggies!!

 Three things will last forever--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love.

  1. Glad your paperwork is near complete!!! I bet it is a slight sigh of relief! Your 3 little ladies are super sweet! You have been certainly blessed with all 3, and what a wonderful feeling that just over 7 years ago you became the great mommy and daddy to your 1st beautiful daughter that has such a big heart! Have a nice weekend! Miss you!!

  2. It is a great feeling that is is almost completed again! I've been feeling stuck, having to do documents that we just completed! I'm ready to begin to move forward and not backwards! The last of our documents were notarized yesterday, and we'll be scanning & emailing them to the agency today!!

    Thanks for all of the support you have given us over the last 8 months. You are truly a blessing in our lives. We miss you too!
