Paper Trail

We are trudging through paperwork. I have a doctors appointment in the morning to get bloodwork and a "physical" done. Not looking forward to that one very much! Erin is going to pick up the kids doctors reports tomorrow as well, and that should be the last remaining documents for our application. Then it is on to the Dossier. It is a compilation of several documents that must all be notarized and authenticated on a local, state, and national level. There is someone that is going to help with this part, but it still requires a lot of leg work on our part.

Erin gets overwhelmed with all of the papers, so I have been trying to give her a few steps at a time. Lists, she likes lists. Those of you who know her well know of her love for lists.

On the home front, the kids just keep growing up. Catherine and Mommy had a girls day Saturday and got their fingernails painted. At bed time, Catherine asked if we could take it off so she could suck her finger, a habit we are desperately trying to break. Only problem: no finger... no sleep.

Also, we told Catherine and Easton about the Home Study. That a lady would be coming to see if they were big kids and could take care of a new baby. They have been making up their beds every day since that conversation, trying to impress "that lady." I think we are going to milk that one as long as possible.
