Second meeting

Tomorrow morning Dave and I have our 2nd home study meeting with J.D., at her office. Our actual home visit is already scheduled, for November 13th. Depending on how much we get done tomorrow morning, we will decide whether or not an additional meeting is necessary inbetween now and then.

We are busy going over some reading materials that J.D. recommended. I have most of the paperwork finished... I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and Dave's physical is scheduled for the very near future. We still need to complete the I-600A as well as the formal application to AIAA, which is due on November 21st.

I'm busy compiling a stack of photos. I have plenty of the boys, and enough of me. I'm having trouble finding one of Dave in which he doesn't look like... he's in pain? Why can't the man just smile for a picture?!

I'll leave you with a couple of recent pics of the boys...


Theo, increasingly sensitive, introspective, serious...

Emmett, looking more and more like his Mama every day...

Emmett, taking after his Aunt Jessica. A spoonful of peanut butter, for good measure.

Emmett really does look more like you! Good luck with the photos of Dave...Maybe take him out and get him a few drinks and start snapping photos when he's feeling a little more "sparkley."
