Updates

A few quick family updates . . .

Javen is doing great. He is into EVERYTHING these days now that he is mobile and is keeping us on our toes - and constantly laughing - with his curiosity and his attempts to mimic everything we do.


Like unloading the dishwasher . . .


Climbing the stairs . . .



Flushing the potty (he is not using it yet, though!) . . .


Reorganizing (or rather "disorganizing") my kitchen cabinets . . .


And just being silly (what you see in the following pictures is NOT something he has seen us do!)





Other Updates:

Adoption - no updates, just waiting to hear back from the USCIS (it's taking a long time!), at which point we are ready to send our paperwork to Tallahassee . . . and then to Washington D.C., and then to Rwanda. We are trying to be patient with all the delays we have had and are still hoping to have our dossier in Rwanda by the end of the summer.

Foster baby - We thought our home study was submitted 4 weeks ago, but we just learned from our social worker this week that there has been a problem with their new online paperwork submission process and that our paperwork didn't go through and had to be re-submitted (hard copies submitted by hand this time!) yesterday. So now we know why we haven't heard anything yet - it's because our "you will have a baby within 2-3 weeks" started yesterday instead of 4 weeks ago. We are glad for an update and are confident that God already knows which child he will place in our home and will time everything accordingly!

  3. he is so adorable and is doing exactly the same things as luke! it's hilarious. everything done to those silly poses at the end. it cracks me up....i'm getting a little tired of constantly have to clean up messes, but i'm trying to teach luke to "put it back" after he plays with something, and while he hasn't perfected it yet, he is getting better at it. isn't it weird, though, how they could care less about most of their fabulous toys, but dishwashers and tupperware are the bee's knees!!??
