Wilson’s World

So the other night I was looking to see if I could find anything on the new Law for Haitian Adoptions, nothing yet, and somehow ended up at the Mass. Foster Care site. I ended up reading a lot about adopting out of Foster Care.

I talked with Jarod a bit yesterday and we may be switching our plan to adopt through the state(Foster Care) instead of Haiti. Not that we are giving up on Haiti, as with adoption, no matter where you adopt from you are still helping a child that needs/wants a permanent family. There are lots of kids in need through the state and it may work out better for us.

I still need to do a bit more research and talk to some people at M.A.R.E., so we’ll see. Plus there’s always a chance that if we do not go forward with Haiti right now, that we will at a later date when things are a bit more stable.

For now we still have to get our Home Study done(which will hopefully be started in June) to move forward no matter which way we choose.

Friday night was a Dad’s Night Out at our house. Yes, our Mom’s Group organizes things for the Dad’s too, aren’t we nice :0)! The “boys” played video games all night along with munching and drinking. We set up both TV’s downstairs so that all 8 of them could play at once, yes, that was my idea ;0)! It seemed like they all had a good time and now I have a whole mess of recycling to put out this week ;0).

Oh, I got my hair cut again yesterday. Nothing drastic, I think Jarod was a little disappointed that he wasn’t shocked when I got home. I basically just trimmed up the mess I had. It’s a short angle, I like it.

I also took Preston to a his friends Birthday Party yesterday afternoon. He had a blast. It was one of those bounce house places, where they have multiple air blown bouncy things in two separate indoor rooms, great party place. He got tired out and enjoyed seeing his friend Chandler, he really doesn’t get to see him that often, schedules just don’t meet up…. soon though :0). He also did really good with keeping his band aides on. His bumps are healing so we are just covering them for cautionary reasons. He’ll be so glad when he doesn’t have to use band aides anymore, especially on his face! He’s also been taking his medicine really well, even though it tastes awful! He chases it down with a cup of water :0).

As for today, not much, we slept in and are enjoying the day of nothing :0). Well, actually I’m running over to a friends house here in a few to get a shelf thingy to replace our pantry. Right now our pantry is shelves along the wall that lead to the basement down the stairs, it was like that when we moved it. But since we are most likely going to be in this house for a little while longer we are trying to conserve space. With this shelf thing from Pamela we are going to move our ‘wall’ pantry down to the base of the basement stairs, there’s like a little nook thing there that it will fit nicely in and then we will either take down the shelves on the wall or more likely use them for something else so that we can free up space or de-clutter something else….. thanks Pamela!!
