I know!

I have been incredibly bad about updating my blog, but I WILL do better. Our homestudy went very well and we recieved a copy of it within a week after our visit. I overnighted it ( is that a word?) to immigrations and now we are patiently waiting for our fingerprint appointment. We NEED to have this done before our dossier is complete and i'm leaving in 3 weeks to go back home ( Cape Cod ) for a month. I really dont think that the dossier will be complete until mid August and it's frustrating because we wont technically be on the waiting list with our adoption agency until this is finished. Yesterday was Alex's 2nd birthday and we celebrated it by going out to Mcdonalds ( his choice ) and eating yummy cupcakes. My sister and kids are coming to visit us on Saturday ( jumping up and down ). I haven't seen them since last August and i'm beyond excited right now.

Homestudy done!

THANK GOD our homestudy is done without any major catastropies ( except the bloody nose that Sean gave Nick when he threw a ball to him ) . Another huge hurdle out of the way!!!!! It was a lot different than what I thought it would be like. I thought that we would talk more about our family life, values, and all that good stuff, but our SW was very business like and just asked a lot of questions about our parents and the kind of upbringing we had. She interviewed my husband and I together, and then alone. She also interviewed each of the boys alone. God, how I wished that I was a fly on the wall when she interviewed Nicholas ( 4 year old ). This is the kid that when asked what his moms favorite drink was ( Mother's day questionnaire at school ) proudly announced that my favorite drink was beer. WHAT????? I dont even remember the last time I drank beer lol. I drink wine a couple of nights a week, but I haven't had a beer in ages. Anyways, my homestudy should be complete sometime next week. The social worker is just waiting on one more reference letter ( thanks Aggie ) and then the daunting task of preparing the dossier.
