Happy + Healthy

Today we headed to Kaiser for our 'adoption physicals'. Having your physician fill out mounds of paperwork on your medical history is just another part of the long adoption process... great thing is it brings us one step closer to becoming parents. :)

We just got back from Cambodia on Friday - where it was super hot - so it's been difficult to readjust back to the cold weather of NorCal. The doctor chuckled a bit at Genilson as she was examining him - Genilson had been so cold this morning before going to the doctor that he had put on thermals under his jeans, which he then tucked into some heavy duty socks with heavy boots on... he had so much on that the doctor couldn't find his ankles to take his pulse! Genilson responded to the doctor's giggles with "I'm from Brazil!"

Being in Cambodia over the past few weeks was great... it really gave us a chance to reconnect with friends, practice some good 'ole Khmer, and best of all, re-imagine what it will be like to return to Cambodia... this time as parents. Definitely a great trip...

Today we got the chance to speak with our assigned home study social worker - who we will call "R" (for privacy's sake) - and we have our first home study visit this Wednesday! Eek! So exciting! Now we will have "news" to share with the fam on Thanksgiving... (at least about how the first visit went). We're super excited to be able to get going on these visits so soon... this will be the first of three visits all together...

Thanks so much for all of your support -
We love you,
