Adoption update

Hello, and sorry it's been a while since my last update! We're moving along in finishing our additional requirements for our foster license. Chris and I went to Home Depot this weekend and got a couple of things we needed for the home safety requirements--a carbon monoxide detector and cabinet locks (we've got to lock up all alcohol and dangerous chemicals). Chris installed the carbon monoxide detector, and then he had some other stuff on his honey-do list--replace our doorbell (which has been broken for a year!), replace 3 lightbulbs that had burned out in the highest part of our ceiling, and replace the lightbult on the front porch. It's very nice to have all these things done!

We still need to get a locking box for all medicines and buy a shepherds crook and ring buoy for our pool area. We need to put fire extinguishers on each level, and we need to finish up the locking cabinets and move everything into them. I have two pool fence companies coming today to give us quotes on a pool fence, and we take our CPR/First Aid class this Saturday. Lastly, there are just a few things to finish up on the on-line application.

Once we feel like the house is almost ready, we'll schedule the home inspection--I'm going to try to time that so they come right after our monthly Molly Maid housecleaning!

That's the latest--I'll keep you posted!
