quick update

First, we have a new blog address. It's www.thegravesfamilyblog.blogspot.com. It used to be my blog, "short thoughts from a tall guy" (liked that name). But now I've learned to share and it's a family blog, not one about my rants and sarcasm. So change your RSS reader, bookmarks, and links on your blog.

Second, quick update. We are almost done with our home study paperwork and have had 3 of our 4 meetings with the agency. Next week is our final meeting with Melissa, our home-study super-woman, who is great. We also had our fire inspection and Rex got to meet a real "fider fider" ("firefighter" for you English-speakers). We've also had our physicals, and Anne doesn't have TB. In case you wondered. So we are ending the first phase of paperwork for Gladney and our home study agency. Here soon we'll begin our dossier, which is a French word meaning "butt-load of paperwork." That will be done in a couple months, translated into Chinese, sent overseas, and then we wait. For who knows how long.

That's what's up. Here's a random pic of our boys. Thanks for your prayers. And pray for our baby girl. Thanks yall.
