Paperwork, paperwork...

I know I haven't posted much lately, but life has been busy! Yep, that's what they all say! We are moving forward with our adoption process, working on the homestudy and all its requirements! We have a meeting with our home study agency next Friday. I'm trying to get as much paperwork in process as I can. If only I had known I would be doing this at age 35, I might not have lived in so many different states. I have to obtain a criminal and child abuse clearance from every state I have lived in since I was 18. That's seven clearances! Many forms, many $$ and much headache. But I will persevere! Oh, we also need 9 letters of reference - 6 for the home study process(NJ requirements) and 3 for our adoption agency. And that's only the beginning... P.S. Mike only has 2 state clearances to obtain - lucky dog!

More Kitty Pics!

The big guy is Nick or Fat Boy as I like to call him. He really thinks he is just a cute snuggly kitten - 20 lbs. of snuggly!

Scamp or "Little" as she often gets called. She is very affectionate aand very fun. Likes people, especially her people.

Kitty Pics!

Smudge - all grown up. She's a year old now and just a little jealous of her new

brother and sister, but she is adjusting.

Cute little Scamp!

Just a few pictures of our kitties. The big gray one is our latest acquisition. He was given to us by our boss, who was moving and couldn't take him.

Oops

Am having difficulty with this thing. I posted some other pics of the wedding, but obviously, they didn't post. Not sure why and it's time for bed, so maybe another day!

More Wedding Pics!

Just a few more of the over 1,000 pictures taken by the Weingard family! Digital cameras are definitely a wonderful invention.
Of course I had to put in a couple pics of the "Best Man." Awfully cute, isn't he???

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to the most wonderful mother in the world! Thanks for always being there for me. 2 years ago around Mother's Day she was sitting with me when I was in the hospital, Tonight she is sitting with Dad in the hospital. Please pray for her and my dad, as he had a stroke this afternoon. It is sounding like they got him help quickly enough that they may be able to reverse most of the effects. I pray that it is so.

Scamp

Looks like Scamp has become a permanent part of our household. She is absolutely adorable and we have just fallen in love with her. It took a while, but Smudge has finally come around. They play together or Scamp plays while Smudge looks on like a proud mother. Scamp is already totally litter trained and at approximately 5 weeks is eating canned food from a dish. She is a people kitty and loves to be on us if she is not playing. I was lying on the couch this evening and she climbed up on to the couch and settled herself on my shoulder, purring loudly.We are definitely enjoying our new little one!
