Rainy Morning, great day !

Hello All!

We made alot of progress this weekend. Dh  really helped out with the deep cleaning! 

Today I will : clean off the dining table and help DD in her room.  

We are feeling really ready for our homestudy appt!   We are adopting from the foster care system not doing foster care. There is  a difference. We have not ever been foster parents and won't be. We are going to be approved to adopt children from the foster system though. Rather than a foriegn adoption we are doing state side. There are so many needy children right here that need homes!  We are so excited!

Also out case worker only has to come for one visit and then once he has the paper work done we will be ready, I am already sending them list of children we are interested in so they can inquire about them for us.  I am praying for the children God knows to be ours out there, for their safety, for their  hearts and for their transition into our family.

You know that Broc  I was suppose to put in last week ?  Well we found out about the case worker coming and started cleaning and it still isn't in, Yike!    I will not have anything ready  for the farmer's market if I don't get it done!   I hate putting things off yet sometimes I do that.

The goat that will have our kids is due the end of this week. Boy have we got alot of work to do in the barn after the homestudy visit is over. Then the  spring cleaning will be done and I can focus on maintaining, I have always failed maintence but with all these new and wonderful things on my plate I must strive  to maintain!

We are going to be able to get a really big bill of groceries soon , I am so glad the cubbards are low! Even the pantry closet is low!

So many blessings, so much to be thankful for!

We should be able to work on our sled dog unit study today.  I need to start getting the kids portfolios toghether and also logs. I am not up to speed on those yet! 

 In His service,

Mama
