june is going to be my new favorite month...

...birthdays, camping, break from school, and my new personal favorite: june 21st biometrics appointment! 

i have a few hopes that we can actually get our dossier turned in sometime in july now. which would be lovely just to get it out of our hands and officially get on the waiting list for a child. fingers crossed for a summer release of paperwork and time to relax.

also, this *amazing* drawing was done by our awesome 14 year old. he started by coloring the entire sheet with charcoal and then erasing to create the image. oh how i love george and yes, this will be framed and displayed in our house in a most prominent location! *ignore the crummy cell phone pic where i cut off the top of the image*

i600a mailed

we had been waiting on our final approved homestudy for what seemed like forever... obviously it was more like nearly a month, but that can feel like forever. last night when we got home we were so excited to see that our homestudy was approved on may 10th, and we had 4 official copies in the mail! 

homestudy approval... done. 
i-600a application and fees... done.
waiting again... in process.
