Up On The House Top?

No , not reindeer paws . It would be the roofers here to fix our roof from "Windstorm 2008!"Our roof is finished and beautiful( if roofs can be considered beautiful). Besides all the pounding today , it started out to be a rough Saturday. We had to put our cat of 15 1/2 years, Lyza, to sleep. It was very hard to let her go. There was no fooling the kids this morning when we told them Lyza had a doctor's appointment. So we all said our goodbyes and Adam bravely took her in to the vet. Our vet is so compassionate. Adam said the vet thought Lyza was having bowell trouble due to a tumor on her upper intestine. He said we could give her medicine , but that it wouldn't cure anything just prolong the inevitable. So he also recommended she be put to sleep. They were very supportive. On a more positive note.. We got the christmas tree up and decided to save the outdoor lights until tommorrow.It's been a long day.Bye for now.

FRIIIIIIDAY

Remember Suzie Wad from 92xfm in the old days? It's FRIIIDAY ! We had a great Thanksgiving.
Lots of food and great company.We are glad my cousin Hannah her friend Adam and her 2 boys , Gage and Hayden, were able to come up from Tennessee to visit. Just a quick update on this weeks progress. Our psych report went splendidly. Dr. Miller was very encouraging and very helpful. It felt very good to have his positive recommendation, when throughout this process you tend to feel scrutinized. Adam got his employer letter back from Biglots( another document to be checked off). And now we are reading the adoptive parent manuel and answering questions, which is part of the required parent education that will be kept on file at our agency. So, we keep moving closer to all the paperwork being compiled. I think this weekend we will start putting up christmas decorations. Carson has been asking to put the Christmas tree up since November first. December is on it's way! Hope you enjoy the pictures below.Have a great weekend.

P.S. I forgot to mention that our homestudy interview/update also went well last Saturday.We are just one doctor appointment away from that being completed. Unfortunately the doctor's office cannot see us until December the 17th. So close but yet so far!

Thankful

Hello all,
The song Thank you by 1o,ooo Maniacs kept playing in my head all morning so I added a playlist for this Thanksgiving week.What are you thankful for? I have many, many reasons to be thankful this year.But, I think the number one reason I am thankful today is because I am loved. I am thankful that God loves me and that he has put so many people in our lives to love us and for us to love them. We are going to my mom's house for Thanksgiving day and we are looking forward to pigging out and catching up with everyone. Another thing to be thankful for......a 4 day weekend! Have a great holiday from our family to yours!

OH............IO

Just wanted to say GO BUCKEYES , BEAT MICHIGAN on the day before the big game. I also wanted to give you a quick update on the adoption process. Adam and I were able to get our IBESR letter done . This is a letter to Haitian social services requesting to adopt fro their country. We have our social worker coming at 9am in the morning for our homestudy update interview.We could use some prayer as we get things rolling in the morning and that we would be able to give Kristen all the needed info to update our homestudy. Next Tuesday we have a meeting with Dr. miller to get the results of our psych testing and our letters needed for the dossier. And of course we have turkey day coming up. Have a great weekend, and GO BUCKS !
