Haven't blogged lately - Making Progress

Well, it's been a rough few weeks and haven't felt much like blogging. Things have sort of slowed down so I thought I'd update the past few weeks.

Starting the beginning of March Daddy ended up in the hospital because of a fall. Didn't really hurt anything but was there for a few days to recover. Was then transfered to a rehab hospital for some physical therapy. It was a lot of back and forth and accomplishing nothing at home. It just seems like when it rains it pours and everything just seemed to be over whelming. We had our counter tops put in also recently which added to the confusion. We also took Diego (a friend's dog) in for a few days while his mom took a vacation. He was such a good dog we wanted to keep him. He loved being at our house. So everthing at home sort of got put aside...laundry, cleaning, etc. But then it took a week to get our plumbing hooked up again. Hard to do dishes in a bathroom sink.

So it's now time to get things in order...Martha got some good news today from her agency regarding her homestudy. It has been approved and is in the process of being sent to her for certification. Yippee! It's about time. So in just a week or so she will take it downtown to get certified at the State Department. Then it can get sent to the agency for Authentication and approval for a referral. Not really sure how long that will be either. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a little one home for Christmas? That would be just way too cool! So progress is being made slowly.

Last week we got together with our Mom's Night Out group. It was just so much fun to see everyone again. Two had received referrals so it was great to see the pictures. There just seems to be so much to accomplish before our trips. But I found out we will probably never be ready. One good thing is that we think we found a few people to watch our sweeties while we go. We have a few people from our vet that are willing to stay at our house for the times we're gone. That would be a load off. I'm sure they will miss us but will be fine as long as they have the love from someone else.

We hope to do a few projects before the summer starts. We want to paint our one bathroom and get that in order. It's such a small one it's not going to take a long time. Should be fun.
