Daddy's Daisies: Oh, the irony

Oh, the irony

We had our first call with our case worker yesterday! How exciting is that? She gave us some great hints on how best to compile our dossier. One thing she stressed was the importance of getting our homestudy rolling. I got to thinking about it; I mailed the application about a week and a half ago but haven't heard back. "I'll call tomorrow..."

I checked the mail later last night and found a lovely envelope with my handwriting on it! What's this all about...?

Sixteen cents short on postage! And, to add insult to injury: it happened right after I write the Blog of Gibraltar about financing an adoption. Jana thought that was hilarious, until she realized we still didn't have our homestudy application in. Ooh, ouch.

Live and learn. I've been told this is a learning process. I hope I learn quick!

C said...: We all saw the POWER in prayer and fasting when we as a blog family took a day to do this for the hold on some of the Ethiopia adoptions.. SO I feel that we as a blog family need to do this for Margot (Julies' mom) SO please join me this Friday July 25,2008 for a day of fasting and prayer for Margots healing!!!!
