Going on Month #3

Well we're about a week away from being on the waiting list for 3 months. I can honestly say time is starting to pick up the pace a little bit. For me that is a darn good thing. I check in with our social worker every few weeks. I do know that our profile is being viewed which we are very thankful for. This week we were asked to consider a situation in which a baby to be born would be 75% African American and 25% Caucasion. We initially selected that we would be open to a biracial child, but African American was not one of our choices. We really thought this over and prayed a lot. We really aren't 100% sure if this is right for us or not. That being said, at this point we don't believe our family is the best fit for this child.

Currently I am working on our spare bedroom getting it fixed up and moving some furniture out of the Pooh room to be placed in the spare bedroom. Ross laid the carpet in the spare bedroom and now we need to get the curtain panels hemed and the border put up. Then the furniture can go in. Once that is done, then we can really begin getting the nursery set up.

Well that's our update for now. Hope all is well with everyone!!! I can't believe Easter is right around the corner.

Keeping Busy!

Well I have been getting involved in a few projects around the house to keep myself busy. Ross is starting to work a little later at night, he will soon be preparing to get back into the field. I am currently working on a few Winnie the Pooh cross stitch projects that will be hung up in the "soon to be Nursery". I am also doing a few things in our guest bedroom that will keep me busy. My goal is to turn it into a "puppy" theme room. I have tons of pictures of Sam and Shadow so I know I could hang those up in there. I also found a cool puppy border that would work. I am excited to get it finished up. Hopefully the girls will like it and want to sleep in there when they come visit.

In a way it feels like time is creeping by, but yet our 2 month wait has gone pretty fast, if that makes any sense. We did make some revisions to our online and hardcopy profiles. The hardcopies at the offices have been changed. We're waiting for the online profile to get changed.

Keep checking back for any updates. Thanks for the continued support.
