We are DONE with paperwork for our homestudy, everything is in on our end and we are just hoping she will have it all typed up, binded, and ready to mail before we leave for Napa! I thought we were a few days ago, but then she needed one more form last mintute that needed to be notorized and all that from our CPA, who amazingly got in together in ONE day. He is the best! I would love to mail it all off on Monday with the immigration form (and a big hefty fee along with it..speaking of which, EVERY form you turn in for international adoption has a large fee...really does it take $920 to process a form? ) and just wait to get our fingerprinting date (yes, ANOTHER set of fingerprints) and then, an approval! So, now that we are officially in the wait and do nothing mode, I am brainstorming and just learning as much as I can and reading other's blogs all about their process...and they are all so unique and the timeline is so different I really can see no trends or even guess how ours is going to go...so...as my husband always says, "It is what it is!"
I will be in Napa Valley all next week (YAHHHH, thank you mom and dad!) and this really is perfect timing for a vacation...and I am running in a half-marathon there as well (which I haven't trained at all for..oops)..and I can't wait to run this beautiful course nonetheless!
Isn't this the perfect quote for a race?.......
Gray told the ENT Dr. today that he is getting a baby brother AND a baby sister and so he needs to get stickers for them too after he passed his hearing test (AMEN for passing that by the way!) So of course the Dr. says, "so I hear you are having 2 babies!" I was confused and then looked at Gray's little smirking face. He said, "Mama, you SAID we could pray for what we wanted to have, and I want 2!" The Dr. was looking at me like I was crazy...so yes I told him... our ENT knows the news before most of my friends! And I told Gray to pray a little more about it..and he will probably change his mind:) I tricked you with that title of this post didn't I? hehe
