One More Step Ahead!

We received a phone call yesterday from the home study people responsible for our little guy's adoption - it is all FINISHED and has been submitted to CPS for final review and acceptance!! We only have one little hitch - I have to get a note from my doctor regarding a medication that I take. However, she said it really isn't a big deal...I just need the note for their files. Soooo, he should be here in June to start life with his new "For Keeps" family!

May DT Layout Challenge No. 1

This month I was given some of the new Little Yellow Bicycle papers with 2 sheets of cardstock (mustard yellow and light purple). The cute little felt flowers helped pull it all together - I think it turned out pretty cute when it was all said and done. Let me know what you think!

Look Out American Idol...

Here comes Megan! Today was her talent show - she did such a great job! I would have never been able to get up in front of the whole second grade and sing like she did.

We made it!

Woo hoo! We finally finished the home study tonight. She was very, very nice, and it only took 2 hours (we had heard about 6 hour home studies - YIKES). Anyway, excellent news --- she is going to recommend us as the adoptive family for our little boy!! Unofficially of course, because it still has to go through the Supervisor at CPS. Unexpected news though, it will probably be June or July before he actually comes to live with us. So we have another 6-8 weeks to wait for him :(

Happy Mother's Day!!

Thank you guys to everyone that came out to my very first make and take. I had so much fun, and those cards and bookmarks were sooo cute, weren't they?! I had such a nice time visiting with everyone too! Well I hope everyone had a wonderful mother's day. I know I did, but now it's time for me to hit the mop and bucket...have a lot to get ready for on Tuesday evening :)

It's Finally Scheduled!!

They finally called today and scheduled our home visit for the adoption! After that, we just have to wait for them to review the results which could be up to 2 weeks...but at least we are making progress!
