Wow..has it been over a month since I last posted?  We have been so busy it's not even funny.  Working 3 jobs right now...Mike is working 2  yet...so we aren't home that much.

Today is officially 4 months since we received our referral of Cole.  No word yet on when he might be coming home.  It seems as though it's typically been average of 6 months from time of referral until they come home..so at least 2  more months for us to go.  I have having a horrible time with that right now.  The last few days have not been good.  I want nothing more than to have my little guy here with me.  The last 4 months went quickly..but the thought of having to wait another 2 just seem unbearable.  But what can I do?  I had a dream last night that Cole was home....when I woke up it seemed so real. 

Katelyn is doing well.  She spent 2 weeks in California recently..had a good time.  I missed her like crazy when she was gone.  Seems as though she grew another few inches while she was out there.  She's only 11 and as tall as I am (and I"m about 5'6")...She is now done with softball for the summer.  Her last game was on Thursday...so I think for the rest of the summer she can chill out.  She had alot going on during the school year and it's nice for her to just relax.

I started working over the summer for a friend of mine in Milwaukee on Mondays and Tuesdays...So I leave Monday morning and spend the night..come home after work on Tuesday.  It's about an hour drive which gets long...but it's just for the summer.  I still work my inventory job..and enjoy it...a bit anxious to get back to school though and work with the students again.

No big plans for us on the fourth.  We went today and purchased some fireworks..we tend to do that every year...Most of our neighbors do it also..so it's like we have our own little fireworks show here on our block.

We did some changes to the house since I last posted.  We got new carpeting in the living room..and painted in there as well.  We have some new furniture, have the basement fixed up into a rec/play area...and Cole's room is done!!!!  All painted, crib up, etc...so we just need him home!

Well...I will try to post sooner than I did this last time

Until another day....................
