Updated Home Study

Tonight we had our first of four visit to update our home study that expires this month. I have cleaned and cleaned and cleaned some more all over this house and I thought I had learned my lesson from the other two I've had but I didn't. The social worker was only in the living room and she looked at all the kid's rooms plus playroom. She was very WOW'd over Madelyn's room and the playroom which I think are just cute and awesome myself. We went over all of our original home study and told her what had changed, what was the same and what to add. The best part was all three boys were GOOD!!! Amazing what bribery can do...LOL!!!

After our SW left, Logan asked Tony when he was going to Ma-maw Pat's. He's planning on staying with my mom for some of the time we are in China and the rest with his Aunt Kricket. He even asked if we were packed. He assumed since the social worker was here, it was time for me and Tony to get on a plane and take off to China. That would be great except we are definitely not packed and ready to go right this minute. I probably could be tomorrow if told it was time. Let me make a trip to Wal-Mart first and start grabbing essentials to take with us. (Wal-Mart has everything, don't they?)

We still need our background checks, references, our finished financial status and make copies of everything and we might be done with our homestudy. I'm not sure what else they could really ask of us when it's already all down on paper. Nothing else has really changed. Seems like we could get a discount on what it cost for the home study since majority is already done especially since we had the addendum just a few months ago regarding our house and the birth of the twins.

Rumors say referrals are arriving tomorrow. Not ours I'm sure but maybe next batch????
