Update

It's been over a month since I've written. It's not really been so much a lack of time as a lack of news. A month ago we were expecting a referral "any day." Now, it's another stop and slow down of the process. Nepal has announced that they will not be sending out any referrals for the next month. First of all, they do not have a minister for this department, and they have to have one in order to sign some of the paperwork. They also cited technical problems as another reason for the slow down. No one really knows what this means. Rumor has it that there is somewhere around 100 matches completed and ready to be sent to hopeful families, but if that's true, they have not been sent out yet.

Here at home we've had a very successful garage sale, a good vacation, and then a vacation from the vacation. Now, I'm ready to get some more stuff done around the house for the summer. The future nursery is almost back to normal. I've got some touch-up painting a want to do, and I also want to refinish an old kitchen table I have and add it to the bonus room. It'll be great for scrapbooking, game playing, and perhaps a future homework station. I'll post some pictures when I'm finished.
