Wintery Mix

Yesterday was a good day. We did some electrical work yesterday and were happy with our progress!

• Karl replaced an existing outlet in the bathroom with a GFCI
• He changed out two old switches with two new ones
• He created two new outlets - one GFCI and one regular outlet
• Now the bathroom wiring is finished!
• We can now plug in our CO detector in the hallway right outside of the bedrooms as we are required to be in compliance for our post-placement visits!

We had a lot of fun at our Adoption Ministry Social too! One of our friends cracked me up by saying something to the effect of "I am pretty surprised that for all of these families adopting internationally, they sure are pretty wimpy about trying international foods!" So, I got spunky & tried the Sushi she brought! It wasn't bad - just a funny combination of many different flavors. So, hopefully that will give me a few bonus points in the international food courage department!!! We had tons of hearty laughs, it was such a blast!!! I came home totally amazed after it dawned on me that our little boy will be even smaller than our friends' little boy who is 2 1/2 and such a cute little peanut! Our 3 1/2 year old little girl probably won't be all that much bigger than him either. I told Karl that it is hard to imagine what our kids will look like in person and he told me that he thinks all our kids will be really small, even our 5 year old. Wow! It is so hard to picture what it will be like!!!

Today the weather is really crummy, lots of sleet and ice. Thankfully we were able to get to church today despite the ice. Karl broke his new scraper already trying to remove the thick coating of ice on our windshield! :( We had lunch together and are taking it easy and have some things we are going to work on together.

We got an email from our Agency Representative today and she just let us know that she never heard anymore about the fax from Colombia so she is going to pursue that tomorrow and get back to us. Today I got all the copies for our visas in order & am happy about that because for now I am up-to-date on all my paperwork. Soon we'll have a bunch more paperwork to do so at least I am ready!
