Home Study Round #2 & Remembering My Dad

Well, maybe I won't ever get around to finishing those other 2 posts that I had started on. Things have been so busy that I am doing good to post about the current days happenings....so, today, we had all of our individual interviews. Our sweet social worker came about 3:15 and stayed until about 5:45 or so. It wasn't so bad at all. She did interview the kids and that was pretty humorous...she asked what they thought it would be like with another little sister and Charlie said...I think there will be more screaming and yelling. I was like--perfect. Of all the sweet, innocent, perfect little things he has said to me about having a new sister, and he pulls an answer like that out of thin air for the social worker...I just laughed...what else can you do. It is a little true...in those moments when everybody is upset, I guess there will be a little more screaming:) I am hesitant to post this, but I am going to anyway....I asked her when she thought there was a chance we could be matched because I didn't want to get my hopes up for something that would not happen and she said we could realistically be matched by March. That would definitely be the earliest...Now, she said that but I am still thinking it could be April or May...guess we will see. We are trucking along on our paperwork, so I know I am working as fast as I can and that is all I can do....it is all in His timing anyway:) Well, the good news is, I feel like 1000 pounds has been lifted. The next meeting will be at the agency and we are trying to pin that time down...on another note, today is the anniversary of my sweet dad's death...he was such an amazingly wonderful, loving, godly man. His death has been the absolute worst and best thing that has ever happened to me. I miss him so bad it hurts sometimes, but I know he is having a time up there praising Jesus. His death has changed me forever, but for the good...and I give God the glory. He is sovereign and His ways are higher than mine. (Isaiah 55:8-9)....well, time to get back to our nightly routine and get these kiddos fed and ready for bed....
