We had a referral update today. Our agency is hoping to have some news by the end of the month, give or take. So we'll reconvene then and see what, if anything, is new. On a positive note (or is that already a positive note?) we got word that our dossier has been translated and hopefully that means it is on its way to be filed. So that is another thing we need to follow up on at the end of the month - a filing date. Not sure why - it just seems like something we should follow. And having our dossier filed means, I think, that we no longer need to worry about our docs expiring. Which is great news since DH's medical expires in like 10 days. Whew!

Tomorrow is the last day of school. We'll go from 3 to 5 kids all day. It'll be nice. I'm planning a fieldtrip a week for the bigger kids and something separate for Noah. I hope this makes it easier on everywhere. He is at an age where he really wants to do certain things (like go to the farm and spend all day watching the pigs) and the bigger kids want to do things like rent a boat and go fishing for hours on end. You can probably imagine how fishing in a boat for hours with a 4 year old might go over. Not Well. And, let me tell you, the bigger kids are surprisingly immature and vocal about their distaste with hanging out around pigs all day. So we'll give this a whirl.

We are also signing up for a membership to a community center nearby with a very cool pool and plan to go twice a week (again big kids/small kids). So that will keep us pretty busy. My three homeschoolers will continue homeschooling through the summer (I hear the principal is a royal b*tch!! haha). Then we will do a weekly movie day and rent a video/pop popcorn. Plus we'll go up north for a week and before we know it, summer will be over. I'm actually a little sad to think about it.

Well, best laid plans. Let's hope it all works out. On all accounts.
