Our home visit was yesterday and honestly it went wonderful. Peyton and Paige are such neat kids and no I am not saying that just because they are mine. They really are (well except for when they are fighting over little debbie snack cakes or whose turn it is to feed the dogs). The social worker who was so nice talked to both of them and I actually almost started bawling at how sweet their responses were. Paige gave her a tour of the house and showed her where a little sister would sleep, where a little sister would put her clothes, all the toys she could play with. Peyton of course said if he had a brother that would be awesome to him.
I knew the kids were excited and open to welcoming another sibling but to hear them talking about it to someone else made me so proud of what awesome little kiddos they are.
At one point the social worker said "what if mom and dad brought home TWO children?" Peyton looked at her with a smile (as he was shoving pudding into his mouth with a fork) and said "that would be great!"
I think Peyton is lobbying for a brother also. What do you think?
Our last interviews are tomorrow, I checked on the status of our fingerprints and they are being processed, we are going to go ahead and schedule our medicals and have a few little odds and ends to take care of but we are moving along (not sure that should have all been one sentence!)
Now we need to focus on some major fundraising and start all that paper chasing for the dossier. AAAHHH! $25,000 isn't too big for God!

See, I told ya the homestudy visit was no sweat. Did you hide the jalapenos from Eli? You can always count on me for rock solid advice like that... :)
Love finds a way,

A brother would be GREAT! Little Danil would make a great brother! He's 5 and spoken quite highly of by our facilitator. He's in a different orphanage now (for older kids) but still in the 19 area and can be adopted with kids at 19! Just sayin.....
don't worry about the money. You are right that God is bigger than 25,000. Because he's called you to adopt something big is going to happen with the fund raising.
Hi there:) Saw your blog on the Reece's Rainbow website. I look forward to following your journey. Our family is in the process of committing to a 6 yr. old boy in EE. We are encouraged by reading about other families further along than us in the process. Have a blessed day!
