Heard from our agency about the little three year old boy we put our home study in for recently. Apparently we made it to "matching", but they went with another family:(
God is in control!

I'm such a bad blogger!
Ugghhhhh! I want to be a better blogger, but.....
We started school and, by the grace of God, I'm really trying to make that my top priority. This is the first year that I'm REALLY homeschooling three kids. Jumping from one to three is a big deal:) I'm sure I'll be in the flow pretty soon. Right? Right!!??!
On the adoption front, we've heard nothing from our agency, so I can only assume that we didn't even make it to matching this time. The matching meeting was on the 20th.
The Lord is teaching me a lot about obedience. Each time an adoption opportunity has come up, we've been obedient to what we felt the Lord wanted us to do-send in our home study. We are not obedient because we might get something in the end, but because it is what is required of us. Much like when I ask my children to do something....I want them to obey because they love me, not because I will give them something when they are through.

Work Day
Today's Labor Day and the rest of America may have today off, but I'm going to be working!!! We start school (home education) tomorrow and I still have a bazillion things to get done before tomorrow morning! My step-father built me glorious bookshelves in the attic and I'm trying to get those organized. We still can't see the dining room floor because a ton of junk from the attic is sitting on it. The living room is a sea of toys.
It's all good, though! I love getting organized!

The Zoo
My husband has been working TONS of overtime lately. We've barely seen him :(
Thankfully, he has the whole three day weekend off!!
Today, we went to the zoo with another family. The kids all had a blast.
All day, I kept imagining another little boy with us...one with big brown eyes and brown curly hair. It actually wasn't too hard to imagine since my friend's three year old little boy was with us. LOL Come on, September 20!!!!!
