A Wiggly Good Time

Thursday I flew home from Chicago after taking the test on Weds. It was a tough one for sure and now I get to wait 6-8 weeks for the results. Nothing like prolonging the agony, huh? The good news is that we went to see The Wiggles in the evening.

It must be said that both Julie and Ron will be sad when our kids out-grow The Wiggles. Compared to some of the other junk out there on TV, they are more or less good, clean fun. They put on such a great show, too! They all seem to have so much fun so either they really are, or are consummate professionals and can "Go on with the show" no matter how they feel. We were concerned that there would not be anything for Max at the show since he is in 3rd grade now, but as you can see from the pictures it was enjoyed by all.

On the adoption front, we received confirmation from FedEx that our letters were signed for in both Maryland and California and the check to Maryland has already posted to the bank. Hopefully early next week we'll get confirmation that they are sending them back to us in the pre-paid, pre-addressed envelope. I have my physical Monday and our social worker hopes to have the draft of our home study completed next week. These are the last two things we need before we start sending a lot of documents out to be certified so the next few weeks should be hectic, in a good way. :) It'll be nice to have the paper chase behind us though then we'll trade it for "Hurry up and wait" as things are sent to China, translated, etc.

Sydney officially is the "Sequence" champ (a board game) at our house after beating both Ron and Max this morning. Ron is still pretty sure he leads the Harry Potter board game championship due to his excellent notes system. :) Veronica, Julie and Judy all had a special day out this morning and enjoyed the Farmer's Market, Bob Evans and Costco.

Max and I are going to Indianapolis tomorrow for the MotoGP race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We went last year and had a good time even though the remnants of Hurricane Ike were hitting the track and tearing up our roof and storage building back home. It should be better weather this year so let's hope the weather guys are right!
