We are having a "stay-cation" because Eliza has drivers ed everyday from 9-4 during school vacation. But there was no other time to do it, so.... Truly, with 2 trips to Ethiopia within the year, I am fine with not spending the money. We took Bella to the zoo in the morning. Then, last night, Zach had ODP 1 1/2 hour drive away for a 2 hour practice. Jason took him. (I think he may have pulled the short straw.) I took Eliza, and Bella to get our nails done and then out to a "
Fancy Nancy" dinner.
Anyone with a little girl knows who Nancy and her best friend are. Little girls who love oolala and magnifique and fantastique and bonjour and any other word that is fancy. When Bella saw the dessert, she said "Oolala this is my faaavorrrite." We had such a nice evening and then came home to relax with the boys.
*** CIS form overnighted today :) The only thing left really to work on...our police letter stating that we have no record. Why is this a problem, you ask? Because this is the third one we have had to request! The first two have had notary errors. Do you think that God thinks that I have not mastered the lesson on patience? Or maybe He is working on my sense of humor. I even offered a bribe of cookies. Getting closer.

YAY that the paperwork switch is almost done. We loved Fancy Nancy over here when the girls were little. Now it's Jake and the Neverland Pirates for the little boys! :)
Hey... how do you know Bonnie? She's so great and lives in my town!!!
Oolala, you are almost there on the paperwork! And we think Fancy Nancy is Magnifique around here. My dear sister is a real Fancy Nancy, thus of course I've given her all the books.
You're such a great mom: fantastique!!
Thanks for your sweet comments. :) It's nice to know that people are getting something important out of what I am writing. You have been through this before, so you know how deeply personal and emotional this experience is. It's not something I ever thought I would share, but it's part of our family story, so I thought I'd give it a try. The response has been....unexpected, but very appreciated since I feel so exposed. I mean, normally I just write about our trips to the zoo. :)
I look forward to reading about your second adoption -- you have a beautiful family!
:)Melissa
Sounds like a fun "stay-cation". So glad to hear your getting closer!
