Dossier!
This past Friday Tim, Cale and I went to Grand Rapids to kidnap my mom. Okay, well, we also went to see my nieces (and sister and brother-in-law), but then we came back to Chicago with my mom. She has been visiting them for her Christmas vacation so we thought we'd have her come and check out the new house while she was "in the area." In the area meaning not the insane distance that she normally is from us! (Pennsylvania) Anyway, we came back really late Saturday night, so we didn't check our mail until today and guess what was there? Our Dossier! Wow!! I was totally pumped. I opened it up and showed it to Cale saying "this is gonna be your new brother or sister!" While that may be confusing for a child, my 21-month-old gave me the appropriate enthusiastic smile I was looking for! :) It's very exciting because I wasn't expecting it so soon! I've already read almost everything in it. For someone who is task-oriented, it's actually kinda fun to have the list of things to do and to WANT to put it together as fast as you can. So I'm hoping that by the end of January we will not only have the Dossier completed, but sent to Ethiopia with the Nesters officially on the waiting list! WAHOO!!

yippeee!! how exciting! you could totally have that all sent in by the end of january, if not sooner! i'm like you, i love checking off a list of things and putting it together. isn't the list much easier than you thought it would be? i was surprised at how "simple" it was compared to other people's i've heard. can't wait to hear that you have it completed. how's the homestudy? is that done yet?
