A Good Friday

The bathroom tile was worked on again today and is now finished. Our friend will be back on Monday to do the grout! It looks great! What a blessing!

We worked on the Kids' Room today (to get all the miscellaneous furniture & stuff out of there from working on such a multitude of projects all at the same time) and it is looking really good! Now that it is all cleared out, we can work on getting it set up & ready for the kids!

We have also been working on getting a sink hooked up in the bathroom. We have had some other related items to work on in there so that all is still in progress.

We have gathered a huge mound of returns...with more stuff still to be added. It will be great to get it out of here (once we hunt down all the receipts)!

Today, Karl called about having our fingerprints redone. We will be going to get fingerprinted on Wed at 10 a.m. thanks to the graciousness of a friend who is willing to take our prints for us (since our local police station will not do them.) That's the soonest we are able to have them done locally. It's worth waiting for us to not have to drive an hour each way to have them done a tiny bit sooner. We'll just send them off to the FBI that day and hope they return them quickly!

Getting another Medical Letter from the doctor is trickier. The wife/receptionist would not let Karl speak with the doctor and he didn't dare bring it up with her because she is not at all in favor of the doctor being inconvenienced to have to get a letter notarized for anyone for any reason. The doctor himself is fairly low-key about it once we are able to ask him; I did warn him we might need a second letter too so hopefully that will help. (You would hope that helping three kids get adopted would make someone highly motivated to assist with a little letter like this but you'd be surprised that that is not necessarily the case.) So, Karl is going to call again next week hoping that someone else will answer!?! If not, he'll just make an appointment and have himself checked out and request the letter redo then. UGH. Not fun!

On a lighter side, this picture makes me very thankful we don't have to drive around to all our appointments in such an airy vehicle in this chilly weather! Brrrrrrr....!
