Today, we will meet with our social worker to turn in heaps of documents and to assess where we are in the homestudy process. We're hoping that the news is good so that we can make progress quickly.
Although we have the PERFECT room for Phillip downstairs off the family room, we've elected to remodel our upstairs office and powder bath so that Phillip can easily access his bedroom and have a bath designed for him. Karl will bump the walls out into the garage and can start work on the project without opening up the current rooms for awhile. We're eager to have things just right for Phillip to be able to get around. Thankfully, our house has an open design.
It is a fun weekend for us because Gracie and Lucy, our nieces, are here for the weekend while their mommy and daddy are at a marriage conference. When I first got home and saw a little girl with crimped, long blond hair running through the trees above the house, I thought, "Houston, we have a problem here! Uncle Karl brought home the wrong little girls!" Fortunately, Karl did accomplish his mission of picking up the right girls in the Tri-Cities. Gracie has just taken a fancy to wearing a hair piece. Gracie immediately hit the rope swing when she got here. She has a few scratches and bruises from that nasty old tree, but the fun seems to far outweigh the boo boos for her. Lucy has made peace with Nitro, our very affectionate golden retriever. She constantly yells, "No yicking me!" I think that Grace, Lucy, and Phillip will really enjoy each other when Phillip comes home! I can imagine the girls loving wheelchair rides!
