THIRD PROGRAM FEE PAID!

Yippee! We sent the referral fee of $500 off to CHI this past Friday!

Now, we will continue to save for the post placement reports. We have enough to pay for two post placements. Not sure if we will send partial payments or wait til we have the whole amount. Each report is $230. They have been great to let us work this out where we were able to get our dossier sent out. Thanks, Renae!

We do have some things coming up that will put us back in saving money... including tuition for school for all three kids. We are taking them out of the public school, because the superintendant came up with this "brilliant" idea to do grade levels at EACH school. So, for us, that means every two years, we'd have children at three different schools!!! STUPID!

So, that's gonna cost us each month, but for this year we are choosing to pay and we'll pray as we go to see what God would have us do...hopefully the Super finds another job and we can figure a way to reorganize what's been messed up! (I think it would be totally different, if all the schools were on the same campus, but we're talking different schools spread all over town! Ridiculous!)

We've had some other things come up as well, and plan to attend the CHI reunion in St. Louis, so we need to save for that.

I am hoping when we go to the reunion, I will have shirts and calendars to pass out to friends to help me sell and raise money...so, it's a way to justify the trip, right? Plus, as a family, we need it! We need to be around other families that encounter similar issues that we do as an adoptive fam.

Anyways, will hopefully be presenting our Colombian Adoption Calendar in the next few weeks... and our adoption shirts!

Well, should go now, the dishes in the sink aren't going anywhere... Nite!
