Midweek Madness

It's hump day, hooray!! I love it when the week is on its downward slope and we are heading toward the weekend. This weekend is going to be a doozy too. We've got several functions on Saturday including a soccer game, family pics, and a party that night. Then on Sunday we head down to Washington for my awesome nephew's birthday party.
I just had to share a few stories from our little entertainer. First of all, last night, he was meant to be upstairs brushing his teeth. We didn't hear anything for quite some time and finally Stuart yelled up and asked him if he had brushed his teeth yet. Standing at the top of the stairst Cameron yells down "That is in a excellent question Dad." Seriously, just when I thought I couldn't laugh anymore he keeps it coming. This morning while I was driving him to his mom's house, he serenaded me with a pretty accurate version of "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. Really, do six year olds really know that stuff?
On the adoption front, the courts in Ethiopia are open again!!! Hurrah. That means that the referrals should start coming in at a greater pace than what they have been coming in for the past two months. We have finished with all of our documentation and just need to get everything notarized. I spoke with our CHI social worker today and she said she'd review all the documents for us and make sure we have everything perfect. Once that is done, our homestudy is done and we get our I171H, we basically send everything into the State of IN for certification. From there it goes to the Ethiopian Embassy for certification and then to Ethiopia. It sounds like a lot, but really we've done all we can to expedite the process. Then we can just sit back and wait anxiously as we work our way down the waiting list. Patience is key. I'm going to need a lot of things to keep me busy.
