St. Patricks Day and Adoption Update

One of the benefits of homeschool- the kids can get comfortable.... should I say VERY comfortable, while doing their work.  Here is Luke laying across my bed, doing his reading.  He needs to get away from the girls, otherwise he gets very distracted and doesn't get it done.

The green thing on him?  My yoga mat.  He's warding off evil leprechauns (his sisters) who were going to pinch him because he wasn't wearing green.  So this is his solution.  Pretty clever.

On the adoption front, we have sent in our USCIS request on March 4th, and we have received confirmation that they have received it!  This doesn't seem like a big deal, until you realize that we have worked 6 months to get to this point.  Once we receive the approval and get that notarized, then we are ready to send our dossier on to Pierre to get State Certified.  This process just can't move quick enough for me.

The paper chase continues....
