Merry Christmas!

Wow! I guess I don't do very well at blogging, huh? I never seem to remember to write on my blog page except when I'm laying in bed at midnight or when I'm not even home. So, what is going on at our house. Well, with just 2 days 'til Christmas we are gearing up for some festivities. Faith is super excited and has done her own shopping (on Daddy's dime 8-). With visits to her 2 grandparents planned over the holidays she has informed me she wants to make cookies to take with us. I trust you all have a very Merry Christmas as you remember the REAL reason for the Season.

As for the adoption, we are in the "waiting mode" once again. We have submitted our homestudy and been approved and have been told the remainder of our documents need to be submitted in April. We hope & pray things will continue as planned. However, the foreign gov. has been threatening to halt all adoptions to update their proceedures. So far nothing has happened, but there is talk....we just pray that is all there is - just talk. For now, we wait and hope we can continue on with the plan of submission in April.

Bob is off the next 2 weeks. 8-) When the end of the year came rolling around he had a bunch of time saved up as we had been planning to travel in May or so for our adoption to KZ. When that fell through we didn't know what would be happening so he held on to all his vacation days. As the year drew to a close he had time to burn so took the last 2 wks of the year off. It has been nice having him home and Faith has been thrilled to have Daddy home! In my last post, I believe I mentioned that he had started some classes. The semester was pretty ruff on Faith as her Daddy had to spend alot of time on homework and not much time with her. So, these 2 weeks of Daddy being home is just as grand as can be for her. 8-)

I must run. I have a few last minute Christmas things to get done and as Faith is making a trip to town with Daddy, that gives this Momma a little time to get a few presents finished up and wrapped before a certain snoopy girl gets back home!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
