Highlight of the Home Study

The adoption homestudy consists of lots of paperwork, filling out forms, finding documents, sending emails, faxes, phone calls, and interviews.  Boring.

But.

To Zach and Caleb's delight, it also involves firemen.

Last night we had our fire inspection:
Yes, the boys were dressed for the occasion.  And yes, that IS a firetruck pulling up outside our house!

Welcome sir, come right in!

This firefighter complimented Zach on his "turnout gear."

After the inspection, on to the more important matters.




What does it mean that none of our neighbors came out to see if everything was okay?  Sheesh, thanks a lot!

and we passed!  (Notice Caleb helped out by adding his own initials as well.)

  3. I am absolutely sure that that fireman had stories to tell his family after he left your house! That is absolutely the cutest thing ever. Gotta love boys.

  4. Oh mu gosh, so fun!!! My boys would have just loved that too, but thank goodness we didn't have to go through all that! It's so interesting to hear about how different home studies can be for each family.
