Finally!

Well, it's finally Here: We have completed the crazy process required to become foster and adoptive parents! We had our home inspection on Monday and, in a panic, were rushing around wiping down counters, washing dishes, taking out recycling, emptying the trash, changing the litter box, sweeping the floor and.....the "inspection" took all of twenty minutes. I personally felt rather disappointed that she didn't even check my freshly scrubbed shower. Nevertheless we are finished and our first official day of being licensed will be October 1st :-) We should be able to start inquiring on specific sibling groups within the next two weeks!

Preparing for Children

My good-lookin' handyman building bunk beds for the boys' room.

Covering the brown paint with light green.

The final product!

The girls' room.

All of the bedspreads were used by myself and my siblings growing up, and the beds in the girls' room were made by my Dad back in the early nineties for Beth and me. They work perfectly in this room!

We also painted the front door :-) Home owning is fun!

And he doesn't like small dogs....

They make a very strange duo....

But are so stinkin' cute!

 New Vehicle

We are open to fostering or adopting as many as four children, so we decided we had better trade in my CR-V for an eight passenger vehicle. We ended up buying a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe and we love it!

 Cheers!
