Almost there!

Infoshare. Check.
Information overload. Check.
Meet my little boy...still waiting!

We are through some of the official business; that happened Friday and both of us, running on only a few hours of sleep, had so many names and dates and thoughts and images of seeing our little guy at preschool (man alive he is cute) running through our heads that we felt like they were going to pop right off.

The rest of the official business comes tomorrow when we formally say yes to our worker. There is also a court shindig tomorrow to wrap up a document that should never have existed in the first place, but we are expecting no issues. 

Next up, a transition plan will be put into place and we are hoping by late this week to go meet the little guy and start moving him into his forever home over the next couple of weeks!!!

So you know there's that. Whateves. No big deal. HA!

Also, this has been happening:

Cooked my first Turkey!

 

The cats have been extra cute and extra cuddly since it got chilly out.

I took this as a sign to start making a scarf

 

Had an epic (5 hours counts as epic right?) board game night with some friends 

and an impromptu date night with my love.

 We went for a walk/hike one day...and then this happened

 I found The Jackpot. Plus we bought a few wee things for the little guy. 

You may sense a theme in his items.

 I baked banana bread today and have been slowly figuring out my dehydrator. 

You'd think it would be simpler....

I've also been working away on my two quilts. Perhaps I will even come close to finishing one tomorrow if I...ahem...cough...cough...stay home from work tomorrow:) Got to stay busy somehow to keep away the crazy waiting!

Fall photo explosion.

We have had a beautiful fall. Usually in Calgary we get summer and winter but every few years we actually get a few weeks of warm days, cool nights and yellow leaves on the trees for more than 3 days (really, they're all yellow, no orange, no red. Yellow). It's been fantastic.

After getting the news about our match and scheduling our Information Sharing (for October 19th - yeah yeah!) we've been balancing all the excitement and freaking out with carrying on with our everyday...or at least going through the motions but now just with all kinds of crazy thoughts running in our heads! This is what we've been up to:

 Enjoying a real fall and harvesting the last morsals of our wee garden

Enjoying no-rush weekend cooking and dressing like I'm 

going to the county fair in my new boots (from Seattle:)

 

 Enjoying being tourists in our own city during a city open house 

(yyc naked) and exploring cool old buildings and spaces.

 

Getting Anthony into the new hobby of model building. And this one I'm not enjoying, but had to post it - Yep that's a spider in my grapes. You can see where I just pulled one off and ate it before discovering this little friend. I did enjoy that he was dead. I'm now in thearpy.

Enjoying spending time with this soon not to be only child

Working on quilt top number two when number one is still in progress (hurry up Fabricland sales so I can get my batting and backing!!). AND, of course enjoying those super sweet kitties and their peeking under doors when they get left out. Seriously can't get enough of them. Best. Cats. Ever.

Up next: more quilting, more pretending to work and trying not to check out completely, more freaking out and counting down days (12) AHHHHHH!!!!
