Well, our 15 month anniversary of waiting for referral came and went this weekend. I didn't realize it until today (which should tell you how eventful I subconsciously felt it was).
Funny story about our recent home study visit - Derby, our normally very shy kitty, decided he had a crush on our social worker. He was insistent on being near her, going so far as to inquire (and not politely) if he could share her chair with her (which was a dining room chair - i.e., no room for an adult-sized rear and a cat intent on being petted). Frustrated that she wasn't paying him enough attention, he jumped onto her papers and started attacking her hair (which was flying around as she talked). I wanted to crawl under the table. It's a good thing she likes cats. So much for his shyness....here he is showing off for the camera....
His brother Demo was comparatively a little angel. He went and laid on our bed after saying a quick hello...
All in all, our home study update visit went well, medical appointments have been completed, and financial statements are done...hmmm...what's left? Ah, the cats need their shots updated, and we still have to get our fingerprints redone, other than that we're almost officially approved to adopt again. Funny how almost two years later it feels much the same as it did on day one...

Right there with ya at 15 - I forgot too but read it on another 10/27 blog that morning. I guess the months are all becoming a blur! That is hysterical about your Cat!!! They are soooo cute. Our homestudy visit is 2/12 and I'm thinking Ms. Boo may do something embarrasing for us - she has a thing with licking people's feet. Sort of gross. I'm glad our SW knows her :) So here we are approved again (almost) - so where are our children please?
One step closer??? Cute kitty photos. What kind are they?
