Still Waiting

We're still waiting on our references. Hmm. . .you guys having trouble deciding if we can handle another one?

I keep thinking I'll take some time to revamp all of our petitions, financial statement, etc. so that I will have something done. But then I figure there's no hurry so I put it off in favor of checking out another forum or looking for that elusive something I just can't live without on Ebay. I can't wait to get moving on something substantial but I know from our last adoption process that God has his timing and this dossier will land in China, on the right desk, in his time and NOT ours.

Meanwhile in other family news, Katelynn returned safely from her trip to Peru this morning. Praise the Lord she is home safely and had a great time doing the Lord's work. Jeff returned home yesterday after 5 days in Boston to find he had a major repair to do on the sprinkler system to keep our lawn from expiring in this extreme heat wave we are going through. Nikki finally quit a job that was much too part-time for her and is searching for a new one. And we are all getting ready to celebrate Mara's second birthday on Monday. We can't help but think this is probably the first time she will have any sort activity celebrating her birth. Quite exciting for all of us!
