3 am Tea Parties

My mom recalls a time when I was 2 or 3 years old and had woke up and was having a tea party in my room at 3 am. Last night I couldn't sleep so I went down to the kitchen to have some tea. I guess K-man heard me because he got up too, so we had tea together at 3 am.

Back to school. How Exciting. I love that staples commercial that plays the Christmas music, "it's the most wonderful time of the year." I find it fitting as the last week of summer my kids just kept fighting with each other. It's nice to be forced back to routine and earlier bed times. But I am not enjoying making lunches!

Adoption news- I received a letter regarding citizenship part 1. I was excited thinking that maybe they have completed it already. Well NO...They state that they have received my application and the It should be done by 27 weeks.

27 weeks is like 6 or 7 months. Ugg. I can't wait that long.. I really do not want to wait that long for one document before we can send away our dossier to South Africa. I phoned them to see if it will go quicker because I am a Canadian citizen and it is for adoption. The lady said no. That the pile my application is in, is for people that are adopting. She said that there is no way to fast-track it or pay to speed it up. She did say that 27 weeks is the longest it should take. I really hope and pray that it's quick.

We are still waiting for our homestudy to be government approved.

But our profile is done. so check that off the list. It looks really good. T's sister did an amazing job. She spent a lot of time making it perfectly reflect our family and life. The profile was a really big stress for me because it is what you are picked from. I was having a hard time making it all flow and using the right words. Plus I don't know how to use the computer to make it. So I am glad that it is completed.

Please continue to pray for my Aunt and their family.
Love, Dilly
