Our pesky little I600A came back! Around 60 days! We didn't think we would see it until at least mid October. So off to get the last of the documents state sealed. make a million and one copies and then it goes to our agency who just makes sure everything is there and then off to Ethiopia!
Yikes! It's sort of like this hazy dream is coming into view!

Surprise!!
Out of the blue I got an email from our social worker with another several page assessment and more pictures!! She is doing fabulously and looks so big to me.
Please pray we can get her home before her next birthday which is the end of February!

School days, school days, good old golden rule days...
All the girls are back in school. As we were preparing the week before by trying on clothes and switching summer clothese to fall clothes and sorting school clothes from play clothes I realized that next year I would be doing this for one more girl. Phew, I will have to start at least a month before school next year!
Briana started her junior year. She is loving it already. She has decided to not be apart of debate team and try her hat in different areas, such as the school play. She is hoping to get on tech crew.
Isabella started middle school this year. It's a very big change for her, not only does she start school an hour and half earlier she has to change class rooms every hour. Isabella doesn't like change very much, but I already see her getting more comfortable and I think she will really like middle school.
Samantha started 3rd grade. She loves her new teacher and she is so excited to be back to see her friends. She is still playing the piano and is doing quite well.
Emma- I suppose will start first grade when we bring her home. Her and Samantha will be in the same school, so that will be nice. Of course, they are sharing a room so they may get tired of each other pretty quickly. ;-)
We have no adoption news as of yet. We are just waiting on our I600A (Petition to bring an orphan into the United States). We are thinking we should see it around mid-October. Then we can get everything all ready to send over to Ethiopia. I can't wait til it is off my desk and onto someone elses.
We hope you all had a fabulous summer and make sure you get out and enjoy the beautiful fall colors (for those of you that live places with trees and cooler weather) !
