Another Summer Gone By

We have decided that we will try once a month to write a post with updates, not just about the adoption but with the family as well. This way, our "child to be" will know what his family was doing while we were WAITING. We did get a phone call saying all of our paperwork was done correctly and nothing had to be redone. The paperwork for the fingerprints has not come to us yet and until that is done our paperwork sits on a desk in Mass. When we get the fingerprint approval, then the dossier gets sent to Ethiopia. Then we will officially get put on the wait list. So for now, we wait. We will be doing a lot of that, so I guess it's good practice.

Another summer has come and gone. We did some home improvements and spent most of the time relaxing. Well, at least JT and I did! JT learned how to sweep the floors and enjoyed playing in the sprinkler and alligator pool.( He makes a great plumber!) We headed back to Ocean Isle for about the 30th year. This was JT's 2nd beach trip. Of course on the way down we stopped at McDonald's. He met Ronald and ate his first grilled chicken sandwich. He had a great time at the beach with his cousin Taliya. She kept him very busy. They enjoyed the sand and the water. JT ran around like a mad man. We are hoping next year, he will want to sit for a few minutes and build a sand castle and we can relax a little.

I have started school. I am working in the mornings, Tuesday-Friday. Kevin continues to sell people insurance and won a trip to NJ for selling so much life insurance. Thanks to all my friends that had babies! JT spends the mornings with his babysitter Stephanie. He loves her and she loves to play with him all day, so they make a good match.

That's all for now. When we get our fingerprints back, we will be sure to let you know.
