We are safe.... not to close to the fires.

We just wanted to update. We are at a safe distance from all the fires. We could see billowing smoke on the mountain tops. David is on his way home from work. It may take a while as the 5 just opened, but the 14 is still closed. Looks like the fire closest to us was set. News just reported 4 or 5 arrests regarding the fires being set! God bless those who have lost so much.

Kloe is offically ours!!!!!

We just finished signing a huge stack of papers that offically makes Kloe our adoptive placement daughter. That means..... one more court date and she will be all ours forever. She is celebarating by eating gumy worms.

Well now I am off to Rosemary's school with birthday cupcakes and juice.

David is only a little happy about signing Kloe's papers... His words 3 down 1 to go...

We are so greatful for the beautiful family that has been sent to us. We are truely blessed.

Finally.........

Well we finally have a court date to finalize Rosemary & Kalles' adoption.....December 1st. Needless to say we are excited. Rosemary started screaming and jumping up and down when she found out. Okay so she is just a tiny bit excited. Kal, well being almost 2 is a little less excited.

And while on the good news front.......Kloe's 1st set of papers will be signed on Friday 11/14. A good day since it is also Rosemary's birthday.

Nicole is excited, but feeling a little left out. She is still waiting. We except she will be freed for adoption on 12/2. Though we expect an appeal will be placed, which means a least 1 year before we will be able to finalize her.

When dealing with all this we have found the biggest hurry up and wait system ever.....Patience is a virtue.....(yes Andrea best found in others.)
