Biometrics

We got letters in the mail yesterday with our Biometrics date!  So we will be fingerprinted on Dec. 19th. I don't know how long it takes to get USCIS approval after that date, but hopefully it will be very shortly thereafter!
We currently have to work on updating our homestudy since my husband recently accepted a new job.  It is very important that our homestudy matches the emplopyment verification portion of the dossier.  Also, the Ukraine SDA changed a lot of their dossier forms in the past few weeks. I am waiting to get the updated forms from my adoption agency before proceeding with the dossier.  So that is were we are at currently.

Today is Thanksgiving!  I am so thankful for my husband, my son, for my friends and family, for a roof over my head, for food to eat everyday, for my husband's job, for my job, and for money to pay our heating bill.  I thank GOD for these things!  Yes, some would consider these things as basic living necessities, but there are some who don't have any of these things.  I am so thankful to have these blessings!  I will not take for granted the little things, since they are from GOD, I had nothing to do with it- other than obeying His leading in our life. When I have the urge to dream and desire a better living situation, I am stopped almost immediately. I am so grateful to God for what I have, I have no reason nor desire to covet anything else. My goal to to be faithful in the little so the Lord may- if He chooses to- entrust me with greater.  Glory to the Lord!  Happy Thanksgiving to all!

22-Month Milestones & Evan Pictures!

What a cutie!

Yes, I want to bring you home and give you lots of love!

22-Month Milestones:

Not too much different than last month.  David is independently playing with toys much better though- a lot less throwing and just teething on toys, and more appropriate playing.  This is with me out of the room, and me just peeking in on him.  Last month David wasn't doing this as well, though he could play with the toys with my help and direction with each one of them.

Everything else is pretty much the same. We did get a hold of a toddler sized therapy walker for David!  We use it everyday.  David seems to like it- I just need to figure out a better place to use it than just back and forth in our living room, which is kind of boring.

Now on to our adoption: We now have the go-ahead to work on our dossier. So my deadline is mid January to have it turned in to the adoption agency.  Did I mention how confusing this process is?  Our process has not been a walk in the park- there always seemed to be an issue here or there that kept delaying things. So onward to getting our dossier complete!
