Blog Slacker

Yeah, I know I haven't updated in the last week but there hasn't been a lot to talk about. On the adoption front, we've just been waiting for them to process our official application so we can move forward with everything. We received our dossier workbook today so now things can start moving again. Luckily, we don't have to change many things so we should still be on track. I'm hoping to fax in our dossier for review sometime early next week. Once that is finished and reviewed and our homestudy is matching up with our dossier, our homestudy will be submitted to CIS for approval. Once that is finished we submit everything to the secretary of state for certification. From there it is sent off to the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington DC for authentication and then off to Ethiopia. Right now, FTIA has an average wait time of 1-3 months for referral and then 2-3 months from referral to travel. So, right now I'm thinking summertime. I'm so hopeful that it will be then but we'll see what happens.
Nothing else happening around here. Our crazy schedule has settled down and we are all bracing ourselves for another fun Indiana winter. This weekend we are having a Halloween party with some friends. Other than that, no big plans. And for your viewing enjoyment here are some new pics of Cameron just being Cameron.

Halloween costume 2008. The least scary shark I've ever seen.


All of my kids.



I mean, who doesn't clean the shower in their underwear?
