Childless.....

Since our 3 kiddos are currently enjoying activities such as these:







along with dinners out, baseball games and junk food galore. It is pretty much no rules for them this week since they are staying with Grandad and Grandmom! My kids are really blessed that my mom and Tims dad both live within a couple of miles of us, but my dad lives in Illinois. So for 1 week every summer (or just about a week) They come and get my kiddos and pretty much spoil them rotten! Great fun for them, we get some alone time...and we will worry about the "reprogramming" when they get home! We are enjoying it this time since the one rule my Dad has is no diapers...we probably wont be completely childless next summer!

It is a tradition that has carried over since I was little and would go and stay with my grandparents! Alot of time Tim and I will try and do a get away as well, but since we have this little trip coming up soon.....

Speaking of which...
We recieved an update on our status from our adoption agency! We have completed the final step in the clearance for our Travel Approval (the baby from the post a while ago...article 5) and it has been delivered to the CCAA. We are just waiting for someone to sign and send this little piece of paper so we can finally go get our son!
Our agency feels that our approval will come within the next week or 2 and we can travel a week later! If it arrives even 2 weeks from today then we are still on schedule to leave Aug 7th! WOOOHOOO We are so excited, working on pricing out plane tix (thanks Ellen) and hotel costs, coming up with packing lists and places to visit while we are there! We cant wait! God is SO good!
