I first want to say how appreciative we are for all of the kind thoughts everyone sent us on the day of and after our home study. We truly feel fortunate to have all of this wonderful support.
Home study went smoothly. She asked a bunch of personal questions which we answered honestly. She was very nice and made us both feel very much at ease. Round two will actually be this Saturday. It seems that right now things will be going very fast but once all of the paperwork is in, it will all come to a screeching stop and the waiting game begins. Typically there are three home study visits but ours mentioned that this second visit should do it and she should have the home study paperwork completed in February. Her purpose is to tell the story of us to the Ethiopian government, this is her main goal. Its also to decipher whether or not we will make fit parents.
Also this week we are going to try and complete our electronic parenting class. Our home study would like us to try and finish it by her next visit this Saturday. This is a huge packet of very personal questions whose intent are to push Justin and I into discussing how we want to be as parents in every aspect of rearing a child. This will be good, hard but good.
We still do not know how old Chloe will be when we get her but we are anxious to get her some University of Florida national championship apparel. Maybe next year when we go back to back.
Below are the long awaited baby bedding pictures. Nothing too exciting but I think its cute.
Thank you all again, and I will be sure to update everyone after our second home study visit.
Love,
us

Julee, the bedding is beautiful. You and Justin did not do it justice while describing it. I can't wait to meet my grand daughter. Love to both of you across the miles.

I think it's fantastic, too, and I don't even usually like pastel colors! I have absolute faith that the home study(ies) will breeze right through and the next thing you know, Chloe will be here! It's super exciting!
it is a pretty design. much better than all those garish things Julee was picking out before. this is much more becoming of a baby girl. :)
we can't wait for our daughter to meet you guys, too, mom.
and you Gina...we'll make a trip to Albuquerque with her one day. :)
