Happy Fall, Ya'll
Ok Ok I know I have been a HUGE slacker the past few months! Some good things have been going on to make September and October just fly by!
First of all my wonderful sister got married in September in Lake Tahoe, CA it was beautiful! Here are some picts...
My Grandpa, my hero, turned 98! And still is quick as a whip! He and my grandma decided to make a huge life change and they are moving back to MN...why from beautiful CA to cold MN...other than most of their grand kids are freeze babies...I'm not sure!!! :)
On the adoption front, not much to share. But some other exciting news is that we have put in all our paper work for becoming foster parents. This is something that we have both wanted to do for a long time. We actually got all the paper work years ago but being that it was around the time our Invetro failed we both agreed that we just couldn't take anymore heart ache at that time. But we are ready now, and really excited for everything to get rolling with that. We had a meeting with the county social worker and said that we are really interested in the foster to adopt program, but of course we will take children that are not going to be eligible for adoption as well. We where able to put a age limit on the children and we said the oldest we would like would be the age of 3 although would consider older children if they where in a sibling group. Brian jokes that we could go from a quiet house of two to a really really loud house with lots of kids running around within months! Ahh that would be great!! We still have to get a home study done and that has to be through the county, but we scored huge, we already had all the paper work done for the adoption so we kinda slid to the top of the pile in the home study line since we didn't have to wait for letters of recommendation, medical letters ect. We don't have a date set for our foster home study but I will keep you posted!
I hope you all enjoyed Halloween, I had a great time 'oohing' and 'aahing' over all the cute kids in their costumes!
