how long???

I was really hoping that October was going to be a great month, it started off pretty well with one referral. I know... the month isn't over yet but it might as well be. Yes I'm having one of "those" days... I just realized that on Friday it will be exactly 10 months that we've been waiting for our referral! I know that there are families out there that have been waiting a lot longer than we have, but when I saw that it's going to be 10 months it really hit me hard. I just want to not have any more sad days... at least not for this reason. It seems like we've had bad news or bad milestones on holidays, anniversaries etc. I was really hoping that Halloween wouldn't be ruined...

Fall is in the air

Fall is here, which is our favorite time of year. We both love the changing colors, the crisp, clean air and most of all Halloween! There isn’t anything to report right now as far as Chuck is concerned, but we have been trying to keep busy with getting things done around the house…as usual. I’m still very busy with blanket orders.

This past weekend we went to the farmer’s market to get pumpkins. I don’t know what it is about pumpkins, but I get so excited when it’s time to get them, and also a bit carried away. We now have a total of 12 pumpkins! Okay, most of them are the small pie variety. I’ve got the Halloween decorations up and the house is looking ‘spooky’… somewhat. We decided to have a few people over this year to help hand out candy and have dinner before we go out for our last childless Halloween! It’s so cool to think that this time next year I’ll be worrying about a costume for Chuck instead of myself. I’m thinking Chuck will probably have to be a cow for the 1st Halloween, or maybe a puppy… we’ll see.

Hopefully we’ll have some updates soon

off to a good start

There ended up being 5 referrals in the month of September. There has already been 1 referral in October! There are still 2 families waiting from September '07, let's hope for quick referrals for them, they have waited long enough.


This is a great start to the month, let's keep it going!
