Busy Mommy

Yeah!  We finally got an email stating that our dossier has been logged in on March 31, 2012!!! The typical wait time for an RA (referral acceptance) is 2-4 months.  For a special needs the wait has been right about 3 months.  The 2 months mark is the end of this month, so we could know as early as the end of this month a travel date...  or the end of June we could know more!  I'm guessing it will be June since that's the 3 month mark...  ;) Curt is thinking it will be August that we go...  But I dunno...  I guess we will wait some more and see what happens!  :) July is really busy since Curt has a chance to go to Haiti (kinda  long story, but it has to do with Back2Back and our church...  :)), he leaves July 10th to fly to Miami and then on the 11th the group flies down to Haiti and then he comes back around 5pm on the 13th, and then the Mexico Missions Team from the church leaves at 3AM on the 14th!  So he really o...

Wow, that was just yesterday! Seems like forever ago, but yet not really... I got to watch Audrey again in the morning for a few hours, and then we did last minute cleaning. Made sure everything was picked up, the bathroom was clean, dishes out of the sink, supper was ready for the kids, etc... I was READY, I was a bit unsure of the questions, but I was ready... Or as ready as I ever was going to be. I'm not a big fan on "surprise" meetings. What I mean by that is, if I don't really know what's going on, what's going to be asked of me, etc... I usually like to sit and process my thoughts before I blab it out, but then again, I do blab it out. Sometimes I wish I kept my mouth shut after I've blabbed something, so I REALLY didn't want that to happen this time! I really wanted to know what to say and how to say it. BUT God knew my fears and He kept me calm. I was NOT nervous, I figured right about 5, I would be getting really nervous, b...

What a crazy week!  Trying to get everything all cleaned up and decent looking for our home study, which was SUPPOSED to be Sept 23, a Friday.  I was watching Audrey all day, but that wasn't a problem, she was great, and we all were cleaning up after each other!  Starting Thursday, I was seriously following them, saying, hey, that doesn't go there, is that where that goes, do you think you put it in there right, etc...  I felt bad constantly asking them if they had everything picked up, but my house looks great and I wanted it to stay that way! So Friday Mat came to get Audrey and at 4:15 (our meeting was supposed to be at 5) I get a phone call, saying I need to re-schedule our home study visit.  I am like ok, I couldn't quite hear what she was saying, all the kids were all being loud trying to tell Audrey bye...  So I said, you need to reschedule the home study visit that was supposed to be tonite, right?  She kinda laughed and said yes, I said ok, w...
