Update: We survived...and all went well! Whew! What a day, braces for Nick, walk-thru on a possible bigger house, Home Study Visit.
Now...time to unwind!!! Lookout Nim Island, here we come!
---------------------
Well the house it is as clean as it is going to get. My mom and dad came over yesterday when I was at work and mopped and cleaned from top to bottom. Isn't that a blessing????
Since then I have only allowed my kids to sit and walk as tin soldiers and eat while standing in the bathtub. haha. Justk idding. Well, ...almost. :) Do you know that pull-ups almost fit a Yorkie, if you don't want himto have an "accident" on newly mopped floors?
sigh....
So, learning from a painful lesson on my first go round adoption,have some engaging project for the kids to do while the socialworker is here. So they don't sit so nervous that when she getshere they lose all reason, and cognitive thought and act like wildalien spacemen without parents. :)So I have set up the watercolors, paint brushes and art supplies onthe kitchen table and they do not get to start until 5 minutesbefore her arrival.
Is that staging? LOL!
They really DO like painting and we REALLY have done it before!!!!
Pray for us.
We may celebrate (or console ourselves) afterwards by going to the movies to see Island of Nim.

Hello there, I found your blog randomly and thought you might like to know that I recently recorded a song called "Olivia, Where Are You?" You can hear it at the singles section of http://www.shootspeed.com/thewomb - I hope you like it.
ReplyDeleteI love this post! It reminds me of our hs appointment and the preparation and prayers that took place before she came so all would go well. Glad to hear it was a success!! One step closer to getting your precious Olivia!!! God speed! Christine
