makin a list....checkin it twice!

I must say that we are SO KILLING the adoption to do list! If you read my previous post a few week ago you could see how much paperwork we had left to do. But now we have NO MORE PAPERWORK LEFT!!!! I cannot think of a better Christmas gift! We are still waiting on the final draft of our homestudy to be sent to us, but as for little annoying detailed stuff that we have to run all over town gathering...we are done, done, done! :) Yesterday Lance took a half day so that he could get his physical, "good conduct" letter from the sheriff's office, and we both go lots and lots of shots! We decided to go ahead and get all of our immunizations now since some of them take 6 months or so to complete the series. So once we get our home study back we will apply for immigration and then we will be SO close to being on a waiting list for our baby girl. Once we are on a waiting list it could be as soon as 2-3 months that we get a referral. It could be much longer as well, but we are hoping for sooner! :) Our agency doesn't have a waiting list right now, which is rare for Ethiopia at this time, so we are hoping that means little Jane will be here decked out in red and green by next Christmas. Another random thought, I was looking on pinterest and looking at all of the cute 1st birthday party ideas moms put up and it hit me that little Jane will be quickly approaching 1 when we get her. How fun to get a baby and then get to have a big party so soon! :)

new passport photos....check!

immunizations.....check!!

Doesn't that look lovely.....they brought them in and I said..."Oh look Lance, they are on pretty little trays, this won't be bad at all!" hehe

Happy Saturday! We are laying low today, and recovering from all the shots. I feel a tiny bit nauseous and they said to expect that. But really no biggie!
