Sorry for the delay. Things have been busy like always but thought now was as good a time as any to get an update out there.
We are continuing to move up the waiting list. As of the start of August we were number 41, but there were several referrals just days after we got this new number. Keep those fingers crossed that come next week when we get our update we have moved up more on the list. We are pleased with the progress but of course the quicker the better.
Callie started school last week. She is going to a Montessori School here in Clermont and she loved her first two days so far. The "Montessori method" of teaching focuses on instilling independence and allowing the child to find the ways in which they want to learn the material required. So instead of sitting at a desk and reciting her ABC's, Callie is able to seek out a specific task or tool in the classroom, and through guidance from the teacher or observing other kids in her class, she can learn whatever is required. I thought it was a pretty awesome way to learn, so am excited to see how things go this year. If we like it she can stay in this school up until 6th grade.
Jana is fresh out of her doctoral program and enjoying the extra time on her hands! Not much extra time really, but certainly a sigh of relief knowing that her schooling is over and she can focus on her work and Callie. After watching the Olympics this year in London, I had a dream that Jana and I visited. I woke up the next morning and told her that we should go (which we have been saying since we were married). Long story short, we will be going to the UK for 10 days in November! Couldn't be more excited. Figured this would be a "last hurrah" with the impending adoption!
More exciting info to come............I am sure ;)
