It has been a few days since I have sat here in the sun room looking out into the yard at my beautiful birds and putting my thoughts down. The last few days have been interesting, to say the least.
We have picked up our "new" daughter and have her settled in. We are waiting on the adoption to move forward. For now, we are what has been termed as "babysitters". Our young "charge" seems to be adjusting pretty well considering that she has only been here a few days. Her and my son seem to have a love/hate relationship at this point, so I am guessing that she feels at home and he has accepted her.....their relationship reminds me of a true sibling relationship at this point. My oldest daughter seems to be OK with the idea of another child in the family now as well. At this point, I am hoping that all goes smoothly with the adoption and we can move forward as quickly as possible. My biggest concern for this is the fact that right now, we have no "formal guardianship" and if our little charge gets sick, taking her to the doctor would be a nightmare. The way allergies are in this state, this rather bothers me.....or what if she gets hurt somehow?
Home school in our house have not yet began. We will start on Aug. 23rd. I have all of our plans made out and all of the curriculum ready to go. The reason we have not started yet is because I wanted time for all of us to get to know our new one and time for her to adjust somewhat before we dive right into school. I do think that when school begins that it will be quite interesting to say the least!
