We've been hard at work the last few days. We received our packet from our agency, so we have been busy filling out forms and getting appointments all lined up and ready to go. We are still waiting to hear from our social worker to set up appointments for our home study. In the meantime, we have started home projects to get ready for our new addition. First, a place for baby. This may sound odd, but we are putting baby in our closet! Our master bedroom closet is more like a bedroom. It has a window and is about the same size as Luci's room. So, with a little rearranging, we have turned our closet into "the baby suite". It will be beautiful! I've already begun to paint her room. I know, I know, we still are about a year out until we bring sweet baby home...BUT for those of you who know me, I never drop the opportunity to paint something in my house! Anyway, the color is beautiful and I can't wait until it's all put together. I'll post pictures of progress another time. We are also constructing a new main bathroom. Hubby and father-in-law tiled the floor this weekend. First tile project for both and it looks amazing! Again, I can't wait to see it completed!
As part of our adoption process, we have to complete adoption classes. Seems odd to do so since we have adopted before, but it's our agency's requirement. It hasn't been too bad...our agency is in Oregon, so our classes consist of reading a book written by the director--filling our summaries on each chapter, and listening to a set of 5 classes on cd and filling out summaries for that. So, pretty harmless--just time consuming.
Well, until the social worker calls, we will continue to push to get things done on our end. Oh, did I mention that our home phone line isn't working....nice. Thank goodness for cell phones and email---how did we live without technology? On the flip-side of that....I just took my oldest son's cell phone away--for now. Over 600 text messages (in six weeks) at 15 cents each---nope, we do not have unlimited text messaging! Kids...sigh.

Wow....I love doing home improvement/decorating projects!! These are definitely the sorta things that will keep our minds occupied while we wait for our daughters!
That's a great idea to built a baby suite to a closet! That way you'll have the baby right next to your bedroom.
Can't wait to see the remodeling when it's done, I know when Luci's arrival suite was ready it was beautiful, fit for the princess she is.
I have tagged you!! Visit my blog to sweet what I am talkin' about!!
