It's been too long since I have updated on what's going on with us. The holidays are upon us and I have been a busy bee crafting some fun stuff. Pretty sure this year will be handmade gifts all around. Kris is starting a second job to help with our adoption fund. He will be working at the Family Christian book store which will be a perfect fit for him. We have an Etsy shop set up now with the crafts that I have been working on so hopefully we will be able to supplement our fundraising there as well.
As you may know, we have lots of nieces and nephews and we love to spend time with them. They are crazy and fun and hilarious and monsters. That's why I call them my monster squad. This loving moniker is what has inspired the creations in our Etsy shop: Hand & Hart. Each felt plush monster has a personality that was either inspired by or created by a niece or nephew. They are so fun and funky and I loved coming up with their designs. They are a great size for any kid and you can have them customized so no two will be exactly the same. You can also save $5 when you purchase 2 or more by using code SQUAD5 at checkout!

In other news, our home study gets started in 2 weeks! Eeek! Not exactly sure what to expect so I will update as we go along in that process with what's going on. I know that we will have 4 sessions with the case worker, two with Kris and I together, and one each with us separately.
