We spent the weekend doing some home improvement projects with Joel & Nicole (Nate's brother and his wife). They came Saturday morning and stayed until Sunday evening. After 3 years, our kitchen is finally nearing completion. It looked okay before, but there were many finishing touches that had not been a priority for us. These would have been impossible without their help, since one parent is always out of commission.

Today we found out that our "going to court" process is temporarily on hold until we get a letter from our Urologist stating the urgency of Anara's condition. The secretary was planning to fax it today, but something must have happened because our adoption agency never received the document. By the time we wake up tomorrow morning, Tuesday will be closing for Anara - it feels like a waste of a day. We should be able to get the letter tomorrow and have it for the opening of business Wednesday. Hopefully.

Rachel, from Signing Time, left a comment on our blog. You can view it under the Signing Time post for February. It was pretty exciting. Violet didn't grasp the concept, but she did see her picture and repeated, "See Rachel 'gain" throughout the day. Speaking of Signing Time, it was not on this weekend and I couldn't find it when I did a search through next week. It's funny - I made it through adolescence without much interest in following shows or celebrities, and now I feel like a groupie for a children's television show.

We had been hoping that our travel would be discounted because of a generous individual willing to donate mass quantities of frequent-flyer miles. We found out today that he doesn't have quite as many miles as he thought, and it probably won't help us. It isn't that big of deal, but it would have been great had it worked out.

I was able to get in contact with our Urologist this morning. He is so wonderful. I feel bad having to page him, but he is very generous and never seems to mind. He is taking care of the letter being faxed. So, hopefully we will have it today!
Thanks for the email!
Is it too cheesy to ask for some pictures of you kitchen? I've never been to your home so I won't have a reference point, but I'd love to see your finished project.
Brad and his dad re-finished the bathroom floor recently and Brad and I painted the walls. Now we just need to do the ceiling and we'll be back in business. One of these days we'd like to have hard wood put in the living room. That would have to be a "do-it-you and your-dad self" project to make it affordable. Chances are, the rapture will come first, but it's fun to have goals.
