Yep, I'm home all alone...well, I have the dogs to keep me company. Chris and Kristin and spending the night in Joplin, so I have the house to myself. I've been cleaning, going through K's clothes to see what I can list on eBay (I have to do that when she's not around...otherwise she goes nuts! She triend to squeeze herself into a size 5 dress that she was convinced still fit), I've watched movies, done some reading and now I'm sitting in the complete silence. Wow. Maybe it's a little too quiet...I'm surrounded by noise at work and at home, so maybe this is just too quiet...WRONG!! :)
I'm sure some of you remember me mentioning the Tugwell family (if not, you can read their story by clicking on the Lori link). They have a daughter, Lily, who is K's age, she was adopted from China. They have been in the process of adopting two boys from Haiti for quite awhile and there was a big holdup recently with Silas' (the youngest) adoption going through. The birth mother couldn't be found, then they found out she had died, and the US said they needed something to "prove" his orphan status. Anyway, after months of adoption lawyers, talking to Arkansas officials, they got the call last week....they can got get Silas!!!! So, right now they are in Miami and tomorrow they are going to Haiti!!!!! They have never lost faith through all of this and now they are being rewarded! Silas is almost three and Louis is 11. Louis' adoption seems to be moving faster and they know where his birth mother is, so hopefully that won't be an issue. I'm so happy for them!!!!
Ok, I'm taking a nice hot bath and going to bed!!!!
