A great friend of ours from up north in Michigan (you know who you are) informed me that we have been slacking on this blog. She is right. This same friend did us a great favor by coming down to stay with the kids for the weekend while Tami and I got a couple of days to ourselves. We are so grateful to have friends like this. Not to mention our kids love her and her kids so they had a great weekend as well.
Tami and I did some shopping, hung out in the room and watched college football, and just relaxed. It was a great break to get our batteries recharged. It is really great to spend some time together as best friends without needing to be parents. We believe that it is ultimately good for the whole family.
On the adoption front we received the first draft of our home study. We proof read it and made some minor changes. We should be getting the finalized/notarized copy of it any day now. We have completed all of our paperwork for our agency so this will all go in together. The next step will be to build our dossier which includes being approved by the US and Ethiopian governments to adopt. We are a little frustrated with the amount of time it takes to get through the red tape but I think we have realized that our experience is no different than all other families who are going through the international adoption process.
Stay tuned as I hope to stop slacking on this blog!
