Paperchase update

News on the adoption front...

 Our home study is almost ready to send off

to our placing agency for review.

Once there, it'll take about two weeks to get approved.

Then we'll finally get to send off our I-800A.

I know I said before that I'm not really motivated to do our paperwork

this time around.  And I'm still not.  

But I'm excited that, some time this summer, it will be completed, and

we'll be DTC!

Woot!

And since I have a hard time posting without photos,

here are a few from what we've been doing a lot of lately.

Swimming.

Who knows?

Maybe next summer we'll have three "fish" in the pool!

Or are they whales? Or dolphins?

Maybe Madeline will enlighten us.

Have a great weekend!

A case of the giggles

The other day, as I was putting Madeline down for a nap, I had an "ah ha" moment.  

I was pulling her curtains closed when I noticed all the light streaming in.

So the nap was delayed.

And instead, I asked the dumplings if I could possibly snap a photo or two, 

as I'm attempting to improve my indoor shooting.

Madeline was interested in other things, 

but I did manage this one shot.

Caleb thought it would be fun to make faces at me.

Look at his stink eye! lol

Great, now that we got that out of the way and know the lighting is fine,

what happened next?

Well, they hopped on Madeline's bed and snuggled.

Then they got a major case of the giggles.

They love to 

tickle each other, 

squish each other, 

and giggle uncontrollably.

{And yes, Caleb's tongue is blue, courtesy of a jolly rancher he just enjoyed.}

Madeline thought it would be funny to sit on her brother.

Apparently Caleb thought so too.

Ah, these two.

They have so much fun together.

Rolling around on one of their beds in a fit of laughter is an almost daily occurrence.

It warms my heart to hear and see it.
