Beach Trip

Kate and I took a trip to the beach last week to meet my parents at their condo (already been home a week before posting this), and we had a blast! Wes couldn't come, b/c he was finishing up his big custom home for Psycho Lady. That's what I call her anyway....not very nice, but she's been horribly difficult through the entire process.

Anyway, Kate loved it all! The beach (loved the sand), pool and even the ocean on our last 2 days! It was a much needed get way from our normal schedule. Kate liked the crab dip at Dewey Destins even had a few bites of my grouper too. She had a coke float with "andaddy" one day while Mom and I were shopping and overall watched entirely too much t.v. But, hey, we were on vacation :) I kept saying she was going to have to go through t.v. detox when we got home, b/c I normally limit it so much (at least I try!).

Her new favorite thing to watch is Dora the Explorer. She is totally mesmorized when she watches it. So, to those of you who don't watch this lovely cartoon every day, there is a song at the end of each program that says, "We did it, we did it...do dah doh dah, we did it! Yeah!" Anyway, the funniest little video clip of Kate on this trip is the one posted below singing this Dora song. My Mom was putting on her makeup while Kate was performing for herself in the mirrored closet doors right behind my Mom. I had to be sneaky and get on the other side of their bed to get the video, b/c I had walked into the room just prior to this and she told me to "Go, Momma." (meaning, leave the room please) Obviously, this was a private concert.

I love the singing and dancing......it cracks me up.

New Adoption Info

I was emailing back and forth with my family coordinator today asking her a question about paperwork, and I did find out a bit of info. There is one family ahead of us on the "waiting list" for our region that has requested a little boy. So, once I see on our agency's blog that another family has accepted a referral for a little boy, I know we'll be next to receive one!

I asked for the update, b/c it's been almost the full 2 months that we expected to lapse before receiving a referral. She said that a lot of the officials take vacation in the summer, so that may be the reason for the slower time frame.

SO, I will post when I know that we're next in line!!!!! Yeah! Need to post beach pics and videos of our trip last week next.....

Paperwork

Just found out from our family coordinator that we don't have to have a piece of paperwork from Zambia that we thought we might have to get.....unless, of course, the judge requests it later. We're going to pray that doesn't happen! Woohoo!
