Quick News, Thoughts, Updates 8/27

I realized that we haven't been incredibly good about updating lately.  I thought it would be good to just throw a bunch of stuff out there for you.

-Lots of people have been asking things like, "how's the adoption going?"  "when do you get your child?" "are you close?"   fine, no and no.  We'd like to believe that NEXT YEAR at this time we'll have great things to tell people.  What have we been doing?  Paperwork........still.

-Update of where we are with that.....NEXT week our awesome homestudy lady comes for our (hopefully) final visit.  We're working furiously to finish our paperwork for the homestudy.

-Because we're trying to double up on paperwork, we want to have our dossier done a week or so after that so that we're done with our part for awhile.  It's a little overwhelming, but with school starting tomorrow I (Aaron) hope to have a little more time to get to stuff.

-Bring Love In (well not the entire orginization...just the Benkert's) are coming this weekend.  SUPER stoked.  If you're local remember 7pm at the Crossing.  BE THERE!!!  Hoping the Benkert's can use our house as a retreat for a few days of relaxing.

-School starts tomorrow!!!!!!  Corban has spent all summer talking about how he misses his friends...and now doesn't want to go back to school even though his friends are there.  Tobiah has spent the summer not caring one bit about his friends...and now can't wait for school tomorrow so he can see his friends and his teacher.  We have had an awesome summer of Daddy Day Camp, but I'm kind of looking forward to a new routine of getting some more stuff accomplished in the mornings while T's at pre-school.

-T-shirts are selling slow but sure.  Adult Smalls are going faster than other sizes....if you want one before the next printing, you better get it now.  This is also me saying "you should buy a shirt."

I leave you with a picture of a normal day at our house.  The boys were in the other room and this happened.




























EDIT:  I just went and counted the T-shirts....on 2 smalls and 3 mediums left!!!!  Get them now!!!!
