You know if it was the fun toddler kind of fingerpainting, I wouldn't mind doing it again. Just got an e-mail that our homestudy will expire in September and it is time to begin the work of renewing it again. Didn't I just do this? Back to Bashor Home we go again to be fingerprinted for the state of Indiana. Seriously can't they communicate with the federal goverment? I am good with them until sometime in the summer of 2012. Let the paperwork begin again!
Tomorrow my 3 teenage boys leave for a week long conference near Pittsburg, PA. I will only have my youngest son with me. It will be fun to give him much more of my attention than I usually do. But I am really going to miss my boys. So many emotions going on right now. The whole day was spent getting them packed ready to leave. (Oh, did I say I'm going to miss them) Yet the back of my mind I want to hear the phone ring. Yet I also want to be present and enjoy every moment with my youngest. It should be an interesting week.

Waiting
The phone rarely leaves my side. Why won't it ring?!
Well while I am waiting I thought I would ask for help from all you families that are in the China program. You see after learning so much about Nepal, I have done the opposite when it comes to joining the China program. I am not on any forums and it has only been the last few months that I have been reading others blogs that are with the China program. As I read other China blogs I have seen references to the lady bug, red thread, 100 wishes quilt, and a phrase "over the moon" What do they all mean and where did this tradition start? What traditions (even things that I have not mentioned that I don't know about yet) have you kept when it comes to what people do when they adopt from China and what things have you not worried about. I see myself being very nontraditional, yet I could surprise myself.
I do look forward to learning about China and I plan on embracing it as much as I did Nepal, but this has not been an easy thing for me to do. We could finally get the call and see a picture of our daughter tomorrow, but there is another part of me that still feels like it could all fall apart or that my phone will never ring.
Look forward to hearing your replies!
