RAVENS vs STEELERS this SUNDAY!!!!!

Just a reminder that the drawing for the Ravens VS Steelers game is this Sunday!!!!!  I'm a little nervous for us against Peyton Manning, but am looking forward to watching the game anyway!


Ron will be drawing the lucky winner right after the game at his tailgate area....Hopefully, he can appoint someone to video while he draws so I can post it here!!  I can't WAIT to see who wins!!!!  I wish you all luck!!!!


No news about the adoption process...all is quiet....


Check back on SUNDAY!!!!!! 

Getting Closer!

Hi Everyone,

I got a call from our home study agency today~~looks like one of our documents never made it to it's location to MD for a child line clearance on Ron and me.  I'll be re-submitting that tomorrow....however, the good news is that the agency actually sent documents to our adoption agency for review.  As soon as this process is finished (and we get MD clearance), I'll get a copy and I can send off a TON of documents for authentication.  The ball will roll after that...I know it's early, but  please, please pray for a swift and smooth transaction in this exchange of IMPORTANT, original documents!  It makes me so nervous to send the very things that took so long to get!

The raffle drawing is right around the corner~~I can't wait to see who wins!!  This will be an exciting game on the 22nd because Ron will be drawing the winning ticket shortly after the game!  Also, I wanted to remind you that we will post the winner here on the blog.  We will also post on Facebook as well as calling the actual winner!!  Good Luck!

No other updates for now...as always, we welcome your prayers...God Bless you all!!

Still Waiting...

Things are pretty much at a stand still.  We're still waiting for the rough raft of the home study.  Not much going on.  I am finishing up some things to send with the dossier...


I am reading material entitled Becoming your Child's Best Advocate.  Research like this keeps my mind busy and sets my focus on a plan for education.  Also, while we wait, Brynn has set me up with an outline of words to practice and to teach my family.  We are beginning 'sign classes' here at home...this is fun to watch!  The kids pick up sign so fast!  I love seeing their little hands moving...Alex and Ava know the alphabet so they can fingerspell any word...Nick knows A,B, and C so far BUT he knows a few signs as well.  If you're interested in learning ASL, here is a webite:  www.aslpro.com


Please keep us in your prayers...we feel the support!  We couldn't begin to thank you all!!  Every reader!


With Love and Blessings,
Shannon
