Homestudy!!!!

Wow, it came fast! On Friday I got a fun e-mail that said our agency would be assigning us a staff memeber to do our homestudy soon. Well, I thought soon meant like in the next couple of weeks. This morning I got an e-mail saying Leslie will do our homestudy and she will call us soon to schedule. Again, I thought soon meant later this week. She called this afternoon to schedule, so I went to my calendar, flipped to the next month and said, "So are we looking at the end of Sept or Oct?" She said, "What about next Wed?" Wow! I thought it would be a month or two away. So we will add this to our craziness! The next 8 days are going to the busiest they have been in a while. I have a dr appt, Olivia's birthday party is this weekend, we have our fire inspection next Tues, our homestudy next Wed., and we are headed to LR after that.

Travis was awesome this weekend. He did a HUGE list of things I needed done, but couldn't do on my own. He spent over 3 hours installing these "Tot Locks" we have to have and he hung pictures, changed the really tall air filter upstairs, and did some other stuff. So thankful for his hard work- esp. since we need it now! We need to put a locking door knob on our office door to lock away things we aren't allowed to have out- so he isn't totally in the clear yet!

Today we had to go through a list of behaviors, etc of kids and say what we are comfortable with taking. I guess this is real. And soon (I don't have any idea what soon means- just sooner than later!) we will have another sweet little girl in our home and family. I can't wait! I can't wait to see her sweet face. Although I don't want to be anxious, so I am working really hard to enjoy the time I have with our girls and get as much school in as we can. Although we did take a day off to go play with some friends at the mall today. And while at the playground I was getting some hand cleaner out of my purse...and there was a gecko in my purse! It was a cute little one. Now there is one living at the mall playground. Sorry mall. But he was really cute. He got quite a ride too. We went to have our TB tests read at the dr and waited almost 30 minutes. What if he had climbed up my arm in there? There would have been a crazy loud scream!

Tomorrow my mom has to go get fingerprinted. She's headed to the police station to get "rolled" as they call it. I wish they'd take a mug shot just for fun. :) We had to get one when we got fingerprinted and we weren't supposed to smile. Hopefully that is my parent's last step to being free to come and stay with us! Crazy what it takes to be on the court approved list.
