Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful it's just a matter of days now before our Monday adoption homestudy visit. Which means that I only have a few days left to keep getting everything into order around the home.

You can imagine the new messes that arise as rooms and closets get cleaned out. But oh how rewarding it is to look back and see the progress.

I've begun painting the bedrooms, we built two sheds in the backyard to store bikes, boxes, summer fans, patio chairs and all kinds of other goodies.

You can imagine the hours and days it takes to attack each thing on the to-do list.

But again - so rewarding.

Our social worker anticipates that we will be eligible to begin our child search by mid-November. Sometimes that feels like forever away.

And I guess the unknowns are alittle exciting. We are open to adopting a sibling group, but only God knows how many are destined to enter our family. And we don't know the ages or genders. So with this in mind, we can't go shopping yet for children's beds, decor, toys, clothes and all the other stuff.

And ofcourse, having to hold back on knowing only makes the excitement grow even greater.

In any case it just great to almost be there.

In the meantime, please forgive me as my brain lately feels like mush and it's really hard focusing on being a regular and supportive blogger. Yet I still do keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. And I thank you for yours too.

God Bless you all!
