I just got the call from our OH agency that our ICPC paperwork has been approved. This means Isaac is cleared to come to MI. We also scheduled an appointment for Friday to sign our temporary placement paperwork. This means he can come home with us (when he's ready). Our finalization will occur in late February/early March. We'll have to return to OH to finalize his adoption at that time. After finalization, he's legally ours forever. I feel like we just turned a major corner and that's fantastic!!!! We were also informed that we can begin posting Isaac's pics again. I left our camera with his nurses so I will post his newest pics when I return (sometime tomorrow).
Papa (Jason's dad) came over today to spend time with Hannah. She just adores her Papa and of course had a wonderful time. They went for a walk in the wagon and played with her toys. Papa read her a book and put her down for a nap. I was able to get some errands taken care of without the help of my darling two-year old and that was nice.
Tonight, some friends from church are coming over to help Jason with the floor and I'm going out with the ladies (from church).
Right now, Hannah is Swiffering. She loves it. If only she would love it in 10 years.
Isaac is doing great! If he continues to tolerate his feedings, they will remove his IV "foods" tomorrow. This is a big deal. Thank you for praying for our little boy.
Well, I need to pick up the house. I'll be leaving late tonight or tomorrow. I'll be home for 2 short weekend trips in September and then will not return until Isaac comes home. I think I have a love/hate relationship with this 5.5 hour drive. I'm pretty sure Hannah's is more hate than love.
I'll be blogging from OH tomorrow. See you then!

OUR LIFE RIGHT NOW
I am a SAH wife and mom. My daughter, Hannah and I recently returned home to MI after living in OH for almost 5 months while we waited for our son, Isaac, who was born at 24 weeks gestation and who we are adopting, to be well enough and big enough to come home. My husband, Jason, is an attorney by day and super dad/husband by night who helps with everything from vacumning to nighttime feedings and diaper changes.

What wonderful news! Just think about the story you will have to tell Isaac in a few years about how he came into the world and became yours. He surely will know how much he is loved. It is also very exciting to think about the plan God has for him. Who knows - hmmmm -- President of the United States???!!! Lovingly, Terri
(PS: I agree with Laurie that your big beautiful smile came thru in your post!)
Hey ya all, Thanks for all of the good news!! Issac is doing great!! We keep praying for no set backs and it seems to be working. Needless to say we are so thankful for all of the help on the house we know that you feel the same way.
Needless to say you both have helped others over the past few years and it is your turn. PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT.
What you have done for others will be repaid according to the "WORD" KEEP THAT IN MIND!!
We are so glad that Papa Jim is having so much fun with Hannah. We could be jealous but we are not. Needless to say it is wonderful. We also pray that Jim is comforted with all of our prayers for him over his lose of your mother Jason.
Nothing new going on around here. Just a couple more doctor appt's but it is normal.
Hey, Maxi congrat's on the teaching position in Germany from Grandma and Grandpa Varvel!!!
Lots of Love, Gram and Papa "V"
Ooh, Tiffany I know how much having this part of the process done means to you. Praise God for all He is giving and doing in your life and for your growing family:)
Safe travels for you and Hannah.
Prayers and blessings,
Lynn

YAY for you guys! So glad things are being finalized! How exciting.
I am sad though, we didn't get to meet up. Maylee came home today (Tuesday)..earlier than we thought! Maybe we can work something out. I'd love to meet Issac! and you (of course!) We have a follow-up apt nextweek...maybe you'll still be around (?)
What great news!!! God works in mysterious ways... especially where ICPC is concerned. How awesome that you got approved already! Yippee!!!!!!!!
Ohio's finalization takes place after 6 months but sometimes it's longer if you have paperwork delays (we had birthfather troubles... just trying to get his signature but we're heading to court 9/17 for Boy3 and he'll be forever ours).
