Finally a Free Moment!!!

After the most hectic weekend of 2008, things have finally settled down enough to let me reflect on how well our homestudy went. I think Stuart and I were afraid to get too excited about the whole thing. For some reason, after our social worker left on Friday, we were able to finally truly grasp the excitement of the whole thing. She literally said "I have no doubt that I could put you two on a plane tomorrow and you'd be ready to bring home babies." We both grabbed that statement and allowed ourselves to rejoice in it. We are ready to bring home babies and can't wait to expand our family. Another important thing that happened was that she approved us for more than one. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that we will get more than one. However, if twins or a sibling group becomes available, we are approved to adopt both. Can you imagine going from a family of 3 to a family of 5 literally overnight? It's happened before and you never know if it might happen to us. Whatever will be, will be and we're just going to take it and run.
In other news, our soccer team, The Impact, is now 2-0 on the season. Cameron has thoroughly enjoyed this season. We now play on a bigger field with goalies and we keep score. The kids love it and Stuart and I are having a blast coaching. Of course, it probably all stems from the fact that we are now keeping score so there is evidence that we're not terrible coaches.
And now for the most exciting news of all...Cameron can tie his shoes!!! Seriously, I was beginning to think he might be the only future president to only wear velcro shoes. He finally figured it out last night and was very excited (as were his parents). That's all from the Rogers family for this week. We are all looking forward to a quiet rest of the week and weekend.
