Hi all! Yes, we did fall off the face of the planet for a while, but we made our way back. The kids and I went to Hurricane in hopes of being there when my sister Angie (Matt's wife) had their 4th baby. We ended up staying for a week and a half, and no baby. So, we had to come back home. Samantha Helen Excell was born on July 19, 2008 (a week after we came back home). She was 8 lbs 6 oz and 20 in long!!!! I can't wait to see her in person, but in pictures she is a cutie, and looks just like her big sister Amberli.
Since we came back home, I have been doing a huge paper-chase, trying to get all of the paperwork in to the State Office of Licensing so that we can finally get licensed to be foster/adopt parents. As of today, all of the documents are in! Now, if we can just get those documents to the lady that is doing our homestudy so she can type it up, we can send the homestudy in to the state and get our safety check done. A few weeks after that, we should be licensed!!! We are really excited to help out kids, and hopefully one day add to our family!
