We're licensed!

Oh yah, I forgot the real news of yesterday. We are now licensed foster care parents! We can host a younger birthmom, apply to adopt kids already in foster care, get a kid from foster care, etc. And it only took four months - apparently that is fast.

Our home study said we were "loving and consistent parents" and 'able to adapt to new situations' and that Ellie was a 'highly intelligent little girl who communicates above her age' (of course parents love to hear that stuff!)

That's the news. There are a lot less remains of once poky plant roots in our yard, in preparation for the swing set arriving Wednesday night! Josh will put it together Thursday morning - so come over and play for playgroup!!

Puzzle

So I have the best neighbor. I am trying to put Ellie's goo and bandages on and Bugs calls and asks if I'm lonely. After the monkey goes to bed (she can't bend her little arms too well) I call her back and, since her hubby is 'studying,' I invite her over for an ice cream bar! (This was at 9:09 p.m.) then we talk, and eat, and then have some chips, and some Reeses cups. And at 1:01 a.m. the puzzle was done! Yah Bugs! You are great!

P.S. What did we do before blogs?
