We are done with everything for our domestic state adoption. Yipppeeee! On Saturday we had our last impact training which was sort of like a cermony where you receive a certificate that you have completed training. Yesterday we had our homestudy visit and we are now done. By next week they will have everything typed out and they will be sending our paperwork out there to find our children. Domestic adoption through the foster care system is nothing like international in the sense that we don't go on a wait list for a child and have to wait until it is our turn. Based on our preferences and what ages we are willing to accept we could be matched at any time. They said that we have a very good chance of receiving profiles of small children and we will be selected very quickly because of our experience with adoption in the past. So now all we do is sit back and wait.

In the mean time we are just enjoying the girls and have been busy with school and work. Well at least I have the next two months off of work so we plan on having a lot of family time and hanging out by the pool time since the girls are like little fishes. In a few weeks we have a trip planned to head up to NY and NJ. We have gotten a lot accomplished these last few weeks so it will definitely be nice to just have some quality family time. We managed to put in our new flooring in our living room, kitchen, and dining room, complete our adoption training, I finished a class that kicked my butt and never gave me a free night off of school.

I am also trying to keep the girls busy for the summer and have them enrolled in several activities so they don't get bored sitting around the house with mommy while I go on cleaning rampages. Tonight was Lennah's first night of karate and Tuesday Delylah had a music class. The girls are loving having some time to make new friends and learn new things. Lennah starts a dance class next week ( now she has been saying she wanted to go back to dance) and a little explorers class where she will be learning about science and nature type stuff.

If Lindsey is still teaching the Lil Explorers class, Lennah is going to have a BLAST. Sheridan spent almost a year taking classes with Lindsey and he learned so much. It really prepared him for starting homeschool this past August.
