Well not much going on here today. I had to work and Jeremy and the kids had to run a few errands but hung around the house most of the day. Emma slept almost 4 hours today so she is still going strong. After work I came home and then I took Emma to a friends house so Sam and I could go to Jeremy's softball game. I felt bad because I have not been to any of his games and Sam really wanted to go. There was no way that I was going to sit at the ball field with two wiggling kids in 90 degree weather. Jeremy actually has two games tonight but we did not stay for the 9 o'clock game. I am trying to pick up around here and finish packing. We are staying in tomorrow so I guess I finish everything then. We usually go downtown for fireworks but we are not going this year. We were also thinking about going to a Sounds baseball game but we do not want to be out late since we are leaving Saturday. We also do not now how Emma will like the fireworks so we will wait until next year. Fireworks actually make me kinda mad because I think about how much money was wasted each time one goes up and becomes ashes. I know they are pretty, but it still makes me a little mad. 

Well we found out yesterday that all our paperwork as come in and our homestudy should be complete. We were assigned a new social worker and we are meeting her July 16th. We are a bit confused because post placements are supposed to take place at our home, but Jeremy got an e-mail from her to confirm our visit but she said we were meeting at the office. Our social worker is not in today so we could not ask if there was some mistake. We are holding on to a little hope that maybe we are meeting at the office so we can do Chloe's referral:) I know that may be wishful thinking but wouldn't that be great. I am trying not to get my hopes up because she may want us to meet at the office because she is new. I will let you know as soon as I know something. Well Emma is finally getting tired so I guess I will put her to bed. Here is a cute picture of Sam trying on his daddy's glasses.

I finally admitted something yesterday. I had been ignoring it for a few weeks because I new it meant that my little girl was growing up, but I admitted that Emma no longer needs a big diaper bag. She is past the age where I need to carry bottles, formula, several changes of clothes, and toys everywhere we go. I have been just grabbing a few diapers and her wipes when we go to the store or other short errands. She is now at the age where she needs a few diapers, wipes and her cup. The last few weeks when I have taken her diaper bag there really is not anything in it. So, yesterday we ended up going to Wal-Mart and I found this little Princess backpack. The backpack can easily fit the things she needs and the bonus is that she can actually carry it. We got home and she wanted to wear it so Sam got his backpack and they played with them until bedtime. This morning the backpack was the first thing she wanted. Well Emma is taking her morning nap and Sam is watching some cartoons. Jeremy is finishing up his classes this week so the kids and I are going to get out the house for a few hours so he can write a paper and take an exam. I think I will take a trip to Target. It feels weird not going to work today. I feel like I am skipping or something. I am going tomorrow to work instead of today. I am then off until July 14th.

Well it is July. I woke up this morning and was actually kind of sad. Sometime this month Chloe will turn one. I thought it might be easier not really knowing when her actual birthday is, but I am not so sure. Every day I will wonder if today is her birthday. We talked to our social worker yesterday and they are still waiting on my clearance letter from TN concerning my fingerprints. It is kinda weird because Jeremy's clearance came a few weeks ago and we had them done on the same day. She was going to  re fax something to the TBI yesterday. Hoping our homestudy will be done this week. We also got some good news concerning Emma's final adoption cost. Our friend's daughter came home two weeks after Emma so we are going to do our court date the same day. The lawyer we are going to use is going to split the fee so the cost will be about $400 less than what we thought. Well we all just got out of bed a few minutes ago. Emma is sitting on the couch with her blanket and Sam is drawing on his Aqua doodle. I need to get packing today for our trip on Saturday. We are leaving Saturday for Oklahoma. Well the natives are getting restless, they want breakfast. Well I weighed in today. I only lost 1 pound:( But I did lose a few inches. I really like using this program. Why doesn't weight come off as easily as it came on? Well I will try to post some pictures of our day, that is if they stay still long enough for me to get their picture.
