Despite the great excitement surrounding the impending birth of another Georgia Peach, this blog has been very quiet. Simply, we are in a quiet period in this process, and there has been very little to tell.
However, yesterday, we received word that our home study update is complete and is being mailed from Wisconsin to An Open Door in Georgia today.
Furthermore, I spoke to the director of An Open Door's minority program today and let her know that we haven't heard any substantive information from T's Georgia case worker for many weeks, despite repeated emails on our part inquiring about birth location, birth plan, when T wants us to travel, whether T wants to see Marguerite, etc. Debbie, the director, assured me that she would get to the bottom of this and get our questions answered, and that we should be receiving regular updates from the case worker. I am hopeful now that we will soon get some answers to our questions and can start making some plans for heading south.
Meanwhile, I am trying to solidify our school plans and order books for the coming academic year, weed and prep our gardens (despite the cool weather), and get caught up on our family photo albums before we take off on our trip. Somewhere in there, I need to figure out our car seat situation, get out the warm-weather clothes, catch up on laundry, and pack for a family of nine! It's only twelve days until the due date! Calgon, take me away!
About Me
- Elizabeth in Wisconsin
- Mom to seven munchkins, ranging in age from 16 down to 1—and wife to one brainy and handsome patent lawyer. As a homeschooling mom, I keep busy teaching my growing brood, changing diapers, giving kisses, refereeing ever-erupting sibling spats, lookin' oh-so-sporty in my twelve-passenger van, and trying to be at least three places at once during those crazy after-school hours. In my "free time," I help run a homeschool support group, and I volunteer for political campaigns to help the good guys. (Yes, there are a few.) Catch me on a zany day, and you may find me a wee bit frazzled. Catch me most days, and I'll bore you to tears telling you how much I love being home with our kids and having the privilege of teaching them daily. It's all good. For those who ask if I miss practicing law, the answer is a resounding "no." I can't top what I'm doing now. My passions: My Catholic faith, adoption, home education, fitness, weight training, nutrition (paleo/real food), gardening, and reading (too much non-fiction; not enough fiction).
