Well, there are a few updates that we can fill everyone in on.
We had our first meeting with our Social Worker and she gave us some timelines for completion of the homestudy portion of the process. This part must be done before you can even apply to birth situations. And it looks like we should be finishing up sometime around the end of September, we're hoping to speed it up a bit but we'll see. Our next meeting is on the 27th where we get to have some one on one meetings and go over the first half of our training. Extremely exciting material, extremely... We also have our fire inspection to make sure we're not bringing this baby into a death trap, we're pretty confident we'll make it through this one unscathed.
Since we also had some free time over the long holiday weekend we decided to start getting the guest room at the house made over into the nursery. This poses a couple challenges since we don't know what gender future baby will be and when we do find out we might not actually have enough time to get a blank room ready before their arrival. So we start now and we go neutral. A big thanks to Erin's mom and cousin for spending their 4th painting every inch of the room while I was out building two of the smallest desks I've ever seen. Still a long way to go on the room but at least its empty and started.

My training for the race is coming along nicely as well. I got a full race wetsuit the other day and for the first time I feel like the swim portion may not kill me after all and that I might actually be part dolphin. Just got to knock out this half marathon in a couple weeks then really get down to business on the tri work. A photo for your enjoyment as well!

I think that about covers where we're at now. We would really like to thank everyone who has donated to the fundraiser, words really can't express our gratitude. Please continue to share if you feel motivated, www.youcaring.com/buttacavoli. Since adoption is a bit less common the more we can educate people in the process the better. More updates soon!
