Our holiday was wonderful. Thanksgiving Day was quiet, we slept late and the girls stayed in their pajamas all day long. We really enjoyed the company of one another. Eric and I put the perfect touch on the turkey this year...BACON!! It was delicious and so juicy! We finished decorating our Christmas tree and reminisced about past holidays with each ornament. We thought about how different and wonderful NEXT year's Thanksgiving will be!!
Speaking of WONDERFUL...our Home Study was approved and we received a copy of it!! It is so interesting to read what other people think of you. I guess Sophie's potty accident didn't have an effect on the outcome after all:) The words make us smile each time we read them,
"...happy to approve Eric and Tina Grills as excellent candidates for the adoption of a child..."
(smile) NOW, we can send the completed and approved Home Study for approval through Homeland Security. As soon as we are cleared (again), we can send our already completed Dossier to Ethiopia for a lifetime match! We have worked really hard to be where we are now. To feel excitement is an understatement.
Our Christmas cards are sealed and ready to send. I am already thinking about next year's card and the great effort at trying to capture the spirit of one more smile. I can't wait!!!
Giving More Thanks Than Ever,
~Tina~
