what a day

Well its a snowy blowy day here. Caitlin and I headed out today for church and found out just how deep the drifts on our road can be! We were stuck-really stuck. Even in my truck. So I called Gordy for help and we had quite a time trying to get out. The snow was all the way up to my doors and getting worse by the second. We had to dig out the road just so Gordy didn't get stuck. Unbelievable. Then of course someone else on the road thought they could get around me despite my obvious state of "stuckness" I tried to sound the horn but it was so muffled there was no use. Well anyway and hour and a half later I was soaking in the tub trying to revive my purple and painful toes. So we didn't make it to church. Caitlin was not pleased.

time to move on...

Well folks it appears that a referral off the current list of children is probably not going to happen. Several times the ladies in the Waiting Child Department at CCAI have stated that the current list will focus on folks with Jan through March Medical Checklists. Even though we are open to a boy which so many are not we will have to wait. Many of the boys are older and/or have more significant needs than we feel comfortable with so they are waiting their families on the agencies website because their needs don't match anyone's list. It is a very sad thing. If Caitlin was a little older there are a couple boys we would snatch up in a second...I'm not sure we are ready for virtual twins. Our wait continues.
