October 18, 2007 p.m.

Monday we had a concrete slab. Four days later we have the beginning of a house. It's been amazing to see the progress over the last few days. The pics are blurry because I had to use my night vision setting.

Brian went by the house today and was very surprised when he got there. Last night we only had concrete so they got alot done today.



Out on the boat

Saturday we went out with Keith, Angie, Nathan, Josh and Collin for a ride on Keith's boat. It was a beautiful day but the water was really choppy so we we're getting pretty wet. We we're able to see quite a few dolphins. We took a ride out to the Jacksonville zoo. If you arrive by boat it is free to get in, so we walked around for a few minutes.

We have cement! Next up...a frame. It looks small when we are standing in front of it but the house will be 1780 square feet.

We are in the review room!

The CCAA has finished reviewing dossiers registered in August/2006. This means that our dossier is now in the review room. We will be very happy when the CCAA posts that September 2006 is out of the review room. If the CCAA has questions about our dossier it could push our log in date further back or even disqualify us from our adoption. Keep your fingers crossed that we move into the review room without problems. From there we will wait, wait, wait. The rumor is that there may be a slight speed up in the beginning of the year.

Ready and waiting for our cement to be poured!

My Mom bought Ava this cute piggy bank last week.

September secret buddy gift

We got the cutest set of ladybug pajamas from our buddy yesterday. I love the slippers! I almost bought them at Foxwoods when we we're there in July.
