Celebration Dinners

In our normal lives, every time that something good happens and we have any reason to celebrate we go out for a celebration dinner. Tonight we would definitely be going out for a celebration dinner, but instead are talking about where we would go if we were home!! Our Bonding Period is now complete and we received promising news on our home study update this morning! Right now we are waiting on some updated paperwork that needs to be sent to us. We are in a small holding pattern until we get that. Once the paperwork arrives, our coordinator will be able to request a court date. The days here are long and each day is a whole new emotional roller coaster!


Today’s visit with D was pretty low key and we mostly did arts & crafts. He’s about done with being in front of the camera for all the constant “official” photos for court each day. He’d much rather be behind the camera taking pictures of everything and anything. I felt a little guilty today, because I lied to him…but I’m sure it’s for the greater good. He didn’t like one of the pictures that he took and wanted to delete it and asked how to do that. We told him there wasn’t a way to delete! So scared he would accidentally delete “official” photos. I’m sure it’s the first of millions and just part of being a mom, but it made me think…

Our life right now is a series of steps, processes and things to handle. We raise our glasses and toast to completing two major steps on our journey today and in the words of Jay-Z…”On To The Next One”!

Cheers!
