First Things First

It only took me a week to finish the adoption agency application.  HA!  Hopefully I can be a little more efficient and quick with the rest of the mountain of papers we will have to climb before being able to bring our children home.  

Evienne is such the photographer...you should see all the random pictures she has taken with my phone.  How in the world she figured out the two exact buttons to press in order to take a picture of the iPhone screen I.do.not.know, but there are probably a hundred pictures of some princess game or color sheet that she has taken while she had "phone time".  Haha!  "Phone time" is a totally other story.  I always swore I would NEVER be one of those parents who lets their kids play with their phone.  Well, ya know the saying...never say never.  I believe that we all have at least a few of those parenting moments where we fall into that never say never category.

So anyways, we thought we would get her to snap a photo with my phone of Chris and me putting our agency application in the mailbox. Funny looking mailbox, eh? I wonder if the postman for our historic neighborhood loves having to walk so much while delivering mail to each and every front porch?! There are no mailboxes on the sides of the street like most places. Just one more thing that makes our super cool neighborhood unique. (We love living downtown!)  

I wonder how long they will take to approve our application?  Hopefully they will approve us!  We are pretty normal.  Although if you asked some family or friends, they might describe us on the weird end of the spectrum.  But I think we're just weird enough to be totally and absolutely cool.  Just my humble opinion. 

Enclosed in that big envelope is our statement of faith, application, and a check for $250 along with our hopes and long-time dreams of being the hands and feet of Jesus to a couple (or few!) children who will become orphans-no-more within the next year or two!
