School's In!

Well summer is drawing to a close...even the weather is cooler..(90s instead of 100s ;)

Lily started school last week and has loved every day so far. Her teacher has emailed us reports on her behavior and adjustment everyday and so far Lily has been given nothing but praise.

She starts soccer practice tonight and is so excited to get back into the swing of things that she was up at 6:15 this morning!!!

Mia starts her MDO in Sept. and mommy is looking forward to a break.

We are in the process of trying to sell our house (haven't signed the contract yet) and move closer to town so that we can be near Garry's office and our church.

Nothing on the adoption yet, though we are getting everything ready to update our USCIS approval. It's not due until December but we would like to get things done now and not have to wait.

Also, we are praying and considering raising our adoption age from 2 to 3.  Originally we had plans to keep birth order, well now that Mia is over 3 and we realize that we probably have another few years to go before we get a referral, that we would like them all to be closer in age. This is not set in stone, and we have inquired whether this would shorter our wait time. If it would not shorter the wait time then we would not pursue it.

Pray that we listen to our hearts and not our impatience.
