We met the greatest person in a round about way at the bank. She processed our banking paperwork in 2 days (rather than the 3 months it was taking their competitor). We were in to sign the final paperwork and I said, "You wouldn't have a notary here, would you?"....it was after hours, so I figured they had gone home already. She said, "Sure...I'm a notary!" So helpful and very interested in the adoption process. God has a cool way of putting people in your path when you need them; I hope we represented Him well. I checked, double-checked, and triple-checked to make sure nothing had been missed or signed on the wrong line. It all looked good...hopefully AGCI will agree!July 4th went well...both the girls had a great time, but neither liked the fireworks too much. Paisley ended up liking the parachute things, and fortunately for us the neighbors had plenty, so we didn't have to buy any fireworks. Mae camped out with mommy for a lot of the night while the kids down the street set off the loud stuff.
Paisley was her usual self...having a great time, when she wasn't freaked out by the noise.
It is our first year in our house, so we were excited to find the neighborhood had a bike parade for the kids (or a wagon parade for Mae) and everyone grills out in their front yard and socializes. Lots of fun.
And, of course, popsicles. Right before the family photo. Good thinking, Dad.
It was a great day. Now we're waiting for our dossier packet to arrive so we can get to work!
