Baby Things, Paper Work, & Fire Marshals
Paper work, paper work, paper work.
There is so much of it! But with each day we are getting closer to completing the necessary steps to become a foster family. Paper work is pretty much done--just a couple of minor things to finish.
The fire marshal came yesterday to inspect our home (I thought about you, Amy, and how excited Mason would be!). Everything is good--we just need to get our fire extinguisher serviced and then we're good to go. The 2 major things we have left are getting the dogs' vaccinations up to date ($$$) and all 6 of us need to get TB tests.
I am having so much fun looking at baby things! You'd think I was about to give birth to my own child or something! Still haven't bought anything, yet. We'll wait 'til next week when all our paper work is turned in. Did I mention there's a lot of paper work?!?
The kids don't have school tomorrow, so Freddy and I are going on a date tonight. Saltgrass! Once baby comes, that will be harder to do.

"He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing."
beautiful example of a Christ follower.... how absolutely selfless of you and your family.
Can you send him/her when all the kids come too? Just kidding :)

Casey Cease!! Where did YOU come from?!? I'm so excited to see you're part of blogville!
Anytime you need someone to hang with those Hinojosa kids...you can give me a ring! I am so incredibly serious....
baby stuff is really cute. i think i'm more into the outfits and such than the babies (wow that sounds heartless).
paperwork is always fun!
Amy, we will be fostering infants 0 to 12 months although I've heard that a child can be with you for as long as 18 mos. Adoption would have to be a serious consideration then!!!
YES!!! Let's hook up!!!
...and YES, I would love to borrow the exersaucer--thanks!
P.S. - How was the date?
