    Our social worker came over today with our homestudy for us to read and sign off on. It is soooo weird to read all about us. It is the story of our life. It is really long and was a lot of reading. She did really good. I think that it would be hard to write so much about people. She was very accurate about our personalities and parenting styles. I must say we look really good on paper.

    So now that she has it written our homestudy gets send to 2 different editors for grammar and spelling. Then gets sent to her supervisor and then the director of Christian Adoption Services. Then it gets signed and sealed by our provincial authority who is Ann Schully. Everything is such a long process. But I am beginning to understand and expect that.

    I have ordered our South Africa manual for adoption from MOT. I am excited for it to arrive so that I will have another ``to do list`` and can start ticking more things off.
   Thank you to everyone for all your support and prayers. Love, Dilly

We are home from Holidays in Beautiful British Columbia. It was nice to get away and enjoy the sun. We went to the Enchanted Forest and Sky Trek one not so sunny day. It was fun spending time together as a family. now we are back home in the rain.
Back at home we haven't even unpacked yet, instead we boxed up our upstairs because today we are getting new carpet installed. K-man had a few tears because he said he likes the blue carpet and doesn't want it to go!
We have received an email from MOT that Gordon has reviewed our application and we are accepted! This is exciting and means I wait for a package to come in that mail with a long list of things we need to do and papers to gather. I can't wait for it to come so that I can start gathering and feel like I am doing something to help this process get going. In some ways I am a patient person but in some ways this waiting, waiting and more waiting will be tough for me. We are also waiting to hear how our social worker is doing on our home study.
Please continue to keep our family in your prayers. We are putting all of this journey in God's mighty and powerful hands. We know that he has a plan for our family and we will follow where he leads us.
Love Dilly
