We are supposed to meet tomorrow at 3:30 to get our referral. Our agency in Michigan sent it this morning. I hope the meeting will happen this time. Well we had a very tiring day. We were at Jeremy's school ALL day again. The kids were really good and we actually got a lot done. It is still pretty overwhelming for him, but I think he is getting a handle on his room. We just got home a few minutes ago and I am now making supper. Emma just got in trouble (from her daddy) for hitting Sam in the head with a train. Well the kids slept good last night. Sam woke up once to go to the bathroom so Emma woke up for a few minutes but they both went back to sleep in their bed. The pictures posted are from this weekend. I tried to post them last night but it would not let me. Check back tomorrow night and hopefully there will be pictures of our precious Chloe.

Well I am pretty frustrated. We have no idea what is going on with Chloe's referral. We were told that we would know when our agency in Michigan was going to mail the papers and still nothing today. Jeremy called our social worker here and she e-mailed Michigan but she never got a response. So I am doubting that we will be meeting tomorrow at 2:00 like we planned. You would think that the third time around would not be this complicated. This is already crazy and we have not even started the hard part of this journey. I guess it is possible that the referral has been mailed and will arrive tomorrow but I am not counting on it. We are all going back up to Jeremy's school tomorrow to work on his room. He starts in service on Wednesday so he wants to get most of his room done tomorrow. Well our sleeping situation is not going great but it is better than it was. Sam and Emma have been falling asleep in their bed but Emma has been waking up at 2:30 every morning. Jeremy will go in to get her and bring her to our bed and then Sam wakes up so I go get in their bed. At least now when they wake up we have an actual bed that we can sleep in. Emma has been a little constipated so that may be why she has been waking up the past few nights. We got her some medicine today to help with her constipation. I am actually really tired tonight. I did get up early and went to Curves and then I had to be at work at 8:00. I did not get off work until 4:30. I got home at 5:30, made supper, and Jeremy had to leave for a deacon meeting. I am now just trying to settle down for the night. The kids are watching "Finding Nemo" so they are being pretty calm right now. I need to get the beds remade. Samuel had an accident in the bed this morning so Jeremy washed those sheets. Jeremy put Sam in our bed for a nap and he wet in our bed too. He got up from his nap and was standing in the kitchen (we did not know he was wet) and Jeremy was telling me that Sam had wet this morning. Well I just wanted to hold Samuel for a minute so I said, "Sam, come over here and see Mom". Sam looked at me and said, "What are you going to do with me?" He thought he was trouble and he did not want me to know he was wet. I also want to brag on Sam a little. Last night the kids had their Patch the Pirate program at church. He did such a great job. He sang and said his verses like he was grown. It was very sweet. 

We had a crazy day. I was going to exercise this morning but I was too tired. It is weird. When I know that I already have to get up early I do not mind getting up earlier to go exercise but when I know I can sleep in a little I cannot get motivated. So we all got up at 8 and we got ready and went to Jeremy's new school to work on his room. We were there ALL day and still there is a lot to do. It was a little difficult because Sam and Emma were with us and they just kept making a mess. They drug everything out. Emma also had a few tantrums. I cannot remember the whole little poem but my Grandma used to say this thing about a little girl with a curl in the middle of her forehead. And when she was good she was very very good, but when she was bad she was horrid. That may seem mean but that is my little Emma. She does not seem to have an in between in her moods. Thankfully she is sweet more that she is horrid. When she gets upset she just screams for a few minutes and cannot be consoled until she is done being mad. I hear this is very common with girls. She did have an amazing vocabulary day. This morning she pointed to a sore on her hand and said "boo boo". She tried to repeat everything Sam said today. We went to Chick-Fil-A for supper and she grabbed my piece of chicken and said "hot" while she was fanning her hand. I was sitting down and she came up to me and patted my leg and said "lap". She wanted me to hold her. She also has been saying "backpack" and "go". I have posted some pictures of the kids playing today at Jeremy's school.
