WHEW!!!!

We have been crazy busy!  We were preparing for the homestudy, spending time in the hospital and living life.

Our home study is behind us.  We have a few items to finish up before our social worker can finish the homestudy.  We are eager to complete the list.  It includes an online training, physicals for the family and a vaccination for the dog.  The physicals are slow coming.  Due to insurance contracts, we needed to change doctors for daddy.  No less than 4 phone calls later and I believe the records were faxed this afternoon.  I am hoping to schedule the physicals for us tomorrow and the kids are all going to the doctor on Saturday.

I am processing lots of paperwork.  I need a proof of home ownership from our county.  Simple?  Nope!  I was told by a super competent county worker this afternoon that the person writing the letter would also be the person notarizing it.  Grrr...

We have not had a ton of fun ... just a little ... here are a few pictures from the last weeks .. enjoy!


All natural cough medicine - it is yummo!



We learned about the wonder of God's creation.  We compared a camel's hooves to a horse's hooves and discovered that a camel can walk on sand without sinking.

             


The baby girls thought they were baby dolls.  You know they are dolls! 




We has a fabulous Valentine's Party.

Miss Hollywood came to visit.
