Final home visit

We had our final meetings with our social worker yesterday and today and now we're finished with our part of the home study! It's a great feeling! Yesterday were the individual interviews with the social worker and Luke and me separately. Today she came back to our house and wrapped things up with us and talked to the kids. It was so funny that Kate had been so excited to talk to the social worker and tell her exactly why she wanted a baby sister and Will wasn't really into it and didn't want to "practice" what he was going to say when I would ask him why he wanted a baby sister. Yet when it was actually time to talk to the lady, Kate wouldn't say a word and Will talked her ear off! But it went well, and we're thankful to be almost finished with the home study. The social worker said she would have the final part written up this week. Then we mail it to our family coordinator who will put it in with our dossier, which is some other big portfolio of documents that goes to Ethiopia. So we're 1 step closer to getting our baby!

It's starting to seem like I'm pregnant with an Ethiopian baby at this point!! Hopefully in 9 months she'll make her appearance in our household, but we'll see....
