Getting a little closer

We got an email from our social worker saying that our background check finally came back! Our homestudy is almost done so we should be officially waiting by next week!

I took Vienna to Baby Time at the library today and she was enthralled with a 4 month old. She kept wanting to go over and see her. I bet she'll like the baby when he or she comes home.

A funny thing happened the other morning. The kids were waiting for the bus. Zoe was wearing a skirt that used to be Erin's. Erin was not happy that Zoe had that skirt because she felt she wasn't done with it yet. Fitz said, "Well, Erin, that's how it goes. Zoe gets your old clothes, Elise gets Zoe's old clothes and Vienna gets Elise's old clothes." And Isaac said, "And Marcella gets Vienna's old clothes!" And I said, "And maybe the baby will get Marcella's old clothes." Isaac asked, "Why would HE want to wear girl's clothes?"

Still waiting to be waiting

Our clearances are not back from the state! Our sweet and patient social worker is getting really frustrated because it's taking forever! I think that she really wanted us to be officially waiting by now. It's completely out of our hands. The agency checked with the state and they do have our stuff, they just haven't finished it.

Once our clearances come back, our homestudy has to be approved by a few people and then we pay our bill. Then we're officially waiting. And I'm ok with that. I'm not in a huge hurry. I have always thought that our baby is coming the first week of May. We'll see if I'm right.
