2009 is here and we are excited!
Our paperwork is being completed bit by bit and organized as we go.
My husband has starting drafting plans to reorganize and spruce up M2's room to make ready for an extra sister. M2 is excited, but reminds me daily that although she is sure M3 will like "girly things" and that she can have "all the girly things she wants", M2 is sticking with her slot car track and sports things, thank you very much. I reminded her that M3 probably has not had a chance to figure out what she likes or what she is interested in and we'll let her pick once she arrives home.
We've been looking into bunk beds too as that will provide as much floor space for playing, daydreaming, pretending, and imagining that the room can offer. We're also thinking that if we can employ the closet space and bunk bed drawers/underbed storage in the most functional way, we may be able to avoid adding another dresser or removing M2's dresser altogether.
At the start of the week, the girls return to school and I start making those initial, important phone calls. Home study needs to be scheduled, references need to be contacted, our credit union needs to be called. Busy, busy busy!
You can count on us to keep you updated right here. We'll keep sharing our story and, if you do the same, more people may decide to become one of the 4,000 responsible for helping bring Hope to her forever home.
Thanks for helping us close out 2008 in an amazing way. We know 2009 will be even more so.
