We are finally done!

On Sunday, Aug 17th, was our 12 month Homestudy. Yeah!!! We are officially done with all the stuff we needed to complete for Josh's adoption. We really liked our social worker and hope to keep in touch with her.

I started a new schedule again. I am now working 11a to 11p with my preceptor and will eventually work 3p to 11p three days a week. So far so good. My preceptor is nice and starting this Monday she will no longer be in the room to help me. I'm on my own. She thinks she will be done precepting me within the next couple of weeks. The best part about the new schedule is we are needing a babysitter even less than we thought we would, the new schedule works out better for Jamie (the lady that watches Josh), and I'm home and in my own bed every night.

Disclaimer: For those that are bug squeamish please turn away now!

Josh loves to check out everything and that include the freshly molted cicada. He even holds his hands out gently to hold the cicada.


It was tickling his hand.

O.K. all the bug pictures are over now.


Almost every night we go outside and play on the swing set. Do you think he likes it?

That's our cute boy!


Josh is playing with sidewalk chalk for the first time. I think this will be a little better when he can draw better, but he still had fun.


Well, Josh has now decided that he doesn't like sitting in a high chair. So, we are now setting him at the table. He doesn't do to bad. He just needs to learn how to act at the table.


Of course our booster seat would help, but it's at Jamie's house. We'll get it the next time we go over there.

Nobody ever believes us when we say that Josh is rotten and now we have proof. Look at those horns he has.


Matt put up Josh's steering wheel up. He got the steering wheel off a bus at work. Josh loves it!




We have a couple more videos for everyone. The first one is Josh playing with his new steering wheel and the second is from a trip to the zoo. As we watched the baby walrus he played with us as we bobbed up and down. It was to cute.
