Back home...

Hey there!

We recently had some of my family in town for a visit so we headed back to the Ole homestead. My Grandpa owned it originally. My Mom moved in with my Dad and Grandpa after they were married and now my brother and sister in law are taking over the family tradition. The emotional impact of this visit really surprised me. I've been back home many times since my parents died but having LC there with all of her cousins really brought me back to some very fond memories. I remember doing very much the same things with my cousins growing up. All the playing, feeding the lambs, seeing all of them together was like watching a home movie of my childhood. I even have a picture of myself somewhere standing in the same spot as LC by the barn holding a kitty. Makes me nostalgic... Good times...

I also finally have an adoption update!

We're one of two families with documents in front of the adoption committee at los Pisingos!!!!! We're officially waiting! YES! The other family has been waiting for a referral since Feb 09. But since LP does try to match families, they don't necessarily go in order. We could go before or after them.

So this great news! Our dossier was submitted in May 09. We filled out our application for LP back in Oct 08. Got the go ahead to start compiling our documents for our dossier in Dec 08 I believe. It's been a long road but not as long as some families. And we have LC of course which makes the waiting go by faster.

Just think...our next little one could already be "in the making" or on this planet already...Gives me goosebumps and tears all at the same time! Please remember our next birth family in your prayers. They have a very difficult and heart wrenching decision before them.

Smooch
