When it rains it pours...

   So much has happened in the last month. We completed our last home visit for the home study. It went great. I felt so much more at ease this visit. Now we are waiting for the document that our social worker types up to be drafted, fingers crossed that this goes well.
  School came to an end, which is always bittersweet. As a teacher you truly grow to love each kiddo. I'm blown away each year at the amount of sadness I feel every year sending my freshman off to high school. Maddie completed 2nd grade with fling colors. Jacquie completed her last day at Broseley Preschool and Daycare. This brought tears to my eyes. My middle baby is off to kindergarten. Charlotte is working towards being potty trained!!!!
    We were off to a great start, then our lives were flipped up side down. Our home was hit by lightning. The damage is unreal. It will have to have all electrical parts and wiring  will need to be replaced. We are currently unable to live in our home and our staying with my mother in law. We do are praying that insurance will cover all damages. We are blessed with a great contractor and a strong faith that God will deliver us. We are unsure how long we will be out of our home, the Amount of damage is pointing toward 3-6 months before we can move back in.
    Then, to add to my pity party I got bit by a spider, and Maddie needs some dental work. Life is hitting us hard. We are praying that God provides the funds to keep pushing ahead with the adoption and complete our home repairs. We truly appreciate all prayers. We are trusting in God to provide.
