Well, passports have arrived for everybody. We are ready! Now all we need is our Lia:) Our agency has matched 33 children from this current list of waiting children. There are still 5 children waiting on the website, but I am pretty sure they are done making calls from the current list. Last I heard they were expecting a new list at the end of this month or November. Will Lia be on this list? I think that it is a possibility, but I am not planning on it. To pass the time, I plan to finally get started on the scrapbook and quilt for Lia. We have now been waiting for just about 7 months (remember- average wait time is 8 months:)).
The kids are doing well in school. Caelan said that her day goes so fast and she is never ready to come home. She had her first field trip today, but siblings are not allowed, so I wasn't able to help out. I volunteer in her classroom once a week and am the aide in Garrett's "Good Shepherd" class- a Catholic religious education class, which also meets once a week. Preschool is going well for Garrett as well. He is doing better than I expected, though Picture Day this week was very traumatic for him. I am not sure why- he is a ham at home.
Oh, I have a JOB. Yes, I was just hired by Sylvan Learning Center to work as an online tutor. It will likely be 10 hours a week or so, but I can do it from home in my PJ's. Tutoring math 3rd- 9th grade level. I haven't officially started, I just send in my paperwork and then have training to do before actually tutoring students. It will be interesting- but the extra money will go directly towards the adoption trip.

Congrats on the job! Good deal, from home and in PJ to boot!
I'm sure hoping that they get this list BEFORE the end of October. I can hope, right? 11 months and counting for me! Hope your wait is shorter!!
Donna- I just know your Lainey will be on this list!
