Our Adoption Journey: UPDATE!!

Sorry we have not updated in awhile... Jon had his interview and it went really good I will have him post about his some time this week. I also had mine it was on Monday and it went really well too. I was just asked questions about my childhood and family like where i grew up and where I went to school and so on. Also what my hobbies are. I also had my physical Jon needs to have his done yet and we both need to get TB tests and finger printed. Our first training class is on May 14th and then we will have one more the following Saturday. After that we will meet with our CW one more time and we will then be a waiting family yay!!!
We spent last weekend in Door County and it was a lot of fun :) and on Saturday we went to my parents house for Easter and got to spend time with a lot of family :) :). I will post some pictures from the weekend when I'm done with this post. We also added a few things to child's bedroom I will try to get some pictures of that later this week and post it. And we got some wooden puzzles (we have decided to get rid of cardboard children's puzzles we have) the puzzles we got are soo cool one you fish for the pieces and another one talks. We also got some more books :). We are going to be buying a sand table because we have purple sand in a small pool for the kids I baby sit to play with but it takes up a lot of room so we were going to get rid of the sand but decided we would buy one of those sand tables that are off the ground and have a cover for our foster to adopt child (madison and dex and any other kids who come to play can play in it too :D) instead of getting rid of it that way it would give Jon another way to bond with the child because from the books we read it can be harder for the father to bond then the mother. So we are taking ideas from the books and research on the net for ways that Jon can bond quicker :). Legos and fun things to play with them are good ways to bond so we figure the sand will be a good bonding tool they can build castles and what ever the child can imagine to build in the sand. I am trying to think if there is anything else.... well if I think of anything else I will do another update later. Watch for Jon's post he will probably post tonight or tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!!! We did but we missed all of our family from out of state :( we love all of you guys too!
