Home study visit #1


Our first home study visit is this week! I believe there are 4 visits total, the next 2 will be one on one with our home study lady and only 1 needs to be in our home.The home study is a HUGE part of the steps that need to be completed before we can send our paperwork to China.
I think this is the part that makes Brian and I the most nervous as we don’t usually have strangers in our home judging every tiny detail (or at least if do, they are polite enough to do it behind our backs).
We also have 2 large dogs that LOVE people.
However, during the home study we need them to act a little less like this

And a little more like this  


To their credit, after the first minute with new people, they relax and are very much like the second picture, but that first minute they sometimes act like they have never seen a person before. And that the visitor may be wearing clothes made out of bacon.

So…if you have any dog training tips feel free to send them our way.
We’ll just be here scrubbing every inch of our house (folks, check your baseboards. In 3 years at this house we haven't cleaned them and they are GROSS! Thanks to my mom for pointing that out and making them my obsession this week) and praying it goes well!

  2. Only moms ever clean baseboards! It is their obsession! Love the pictures, I hope the home visit lady doesn't wear bacon clothes..for a lot of reasons.
