TODAY IS OUR HOMESTUDY UPDATE

AS MY DAUGHTER ATTEMPTS TO SHUT DOWN THE COMPUTER, I AM GOING TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE.

MAYA GRACE IS INTO EVERYTHING. SHE IS SO DIFFERENT FROM BRYAN. HE IS TROUBLE TOO, BUT TOTALLY DIFFERENT. SHE OPENS UP EVERYTHING AND INVESTIGATES. WITH BRYAN, WE REALLY DID NOT HAVE TO LOCK ANYTHING, BUT WITH HER, WATCH OUT. SHE IS SO SLICK!

MAYA IS TRYING TO WALK. SHE CRUISES AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR BUT ONLY WALKS WITH THE WALKER. SHE IS STARTING TO TAKE STEPS TOWARD ME IF SHE IS WITH SOMEONE ELSE, AND YESTERDAY SHE TOOK A FEW STEPS TOWARDS MY FRIEND RIA, WHO KINDA LOOKS LIKE ME..A LITTLE.

SPEAKING OF RIA, SHE CALLED ME LASTNIGHT AND HER DAD DIED IN HIS SLEEP AROUND 4PM YESTERDAY. APPARENTLY HE HAD SOME CARDIAC PROBLEMS AND SOME DEMENTIA. WE FEEL SO MUCH FOR RIA AND HER FAMILY TODAY. RIA HAS SOME STUFF GOING ON IN HER LIFE RIGHT NOW AND THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH. OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO HER. WE LOVE YOU RIA AND WILL TALK TO YOU SOON!


THAT ASIDE, TODAY A SOCIAL WORKER IS COMING TO OUR HOUSE TO DO THE HOMESTUDY UPDATE THAT WE NEED FOR OUR RE-ADOPTION. GEORGE IS GETTING HIS FINGERPRINTS DONE TONIGHT AND THEN ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS WAIT FOR THE CRIMINAL CLEARANCE(FINGERPRINTS, CHILD ABUSE RECORDS, ETC.) AND OUR HOMESTUDY WRITE UP. THEN OUR LAWYER WILL GET US A COURT DATE AND IT WILL ALL BE OFFICIAL FOREVER!!!!


WELL, I HAVE TO SOMEHOW ENTERTAIN MAYA IN THE BATHROOM NOW SO I CAN LOOK SOMEWHAT PRESENTABLE TO THIS SOCIAL WORKER IN MY MAKE BELIEVE CLEAN AND ORGANIZED HOUSE:)
