Dave and I got up early again today to go to an adoption training session at our home study agency, CCAI. We had to leave by 7 am, which means we were up before dawn for the second Saturday in a row. The roads were generally much better today, though. Sarah and Genevieve got their second Saturday in a row of fun time with their Grandma Jean, who made them waffles and took them out to go sledding (last week, they got waffles and a trip to the mall).

When we got back (a little after lunch time), I tracked our LOA and noticed that our DHL envelope had arrived at a DHL facility in Louisville, Colorado. (Louisville is only about a 20 minute drive from here). I called DHL right away and asked if I could pick up the envelope at their facility, to which they said, "Gee, sorry ma'am, but the facility was only open until 11 am this morning. It'll be delivered Monday." I wanted to ask, "If the means to your CHILD was locked in a DHL facility, wouldn't you want someone to OPEN it for you?" I didn't say it, even though I was thinking it. I decided that I was over-reacting; the delay really only means that our letter gets to Heritage on Tuesday instead of on Monday.

It'll all be okay, right? At least now I know where the envelope is!

I laid down while the girls played each other at Muppet Racer (a delightfully silly video game during which your chosen muppets race in weird cars through interesting terrain (like Kermit's swamp), and you have the ability to bumper-car into each other, or throw chickens at each other, and other such goofy fun). My body involuntarily conked out for several hours this afternoon, and I woke up around dinner time. Hmm... I probably needed that!
