...one word...PAPERWORK! Paperwork, Paperwork, Paperwork. When you do adoption there is a lot of paperwork to fill out...and boy am I wishing that I had taken copies of it last time :) It would have made my job this time around so much easier since all of our answers are the same as they were just 8 months ago. But all the paperwork is so worth it because it means we are bringing a baby into our home very soon :) We are so excited for this new little one we can hardly stand it! Time seems to be moving quick and slow all at the same time! ha! But by Thursday of this week all the paperwork should be in and our homestudy should be complete so that is very exciting! Also on Thursday we get to go to the courthouse and make Bennett's adoption final! We finally got our report to court date and we are so happy that it is finally here!He is already our son but it's just nice to get all the final paperwork (there's that word again!) wrapped up and have the judge sign off! I'll be sure to post pictures from that day as well! Let's see...what else have we been up too...
we have been sneaking in some naps with daddy when we can...I just thought this picture was way too cute not to share with you...Jon will probably thank me for it :) ha! Bennett has been so drooly lately that he has had to wear a bib all the time now. I don't know if he's cutting teeth or what but the drool can stop any day now :) Bennett has also started to sit up on his own! He's such a strong little guy...his stomach muscles are incredible! I think he's going to be athletic for sure! We've also been...
playing dress up! Here's Natalee with her tutu on her head...I'm pretty sure her cousin Lily is the one that did this to her :) I thought she looked so cute with her "veil" on and her shades :)
We also got to have Ole and grandma come one afternoon for a play date...the kids had so much fun together...Natee got this little table from Grandma and Grandpa for her birthday and she is really loving it. She likes to color a lot...and she mostly keeps it on the paper :) We've had to have a few time-outs for coloring on the walls...she's funny...she will do it and then she'll come and get me and point to what she does and say "no-no" and then for awhile afterwards every time she goes past the spot (even though it's been cleaned up) she'll still say "no no"...thank goodness for washable crayons and Mr. Eraser!
Here they are saying "what do you want?!" hahahaha! Let's see...what else have we been up to....
we've been hanging in our swing! Bennett loves to swing (and Natee hated the swing...well...maybe not hated but she didn't want to spend more than 2 minutes in it!) The other day I caught him just hanging out like this...looks like it is time to start putting the safety belt on him! haha! Both kids just went in for their checkups (another part of the paperwork...they both had to get physicals) and both of them did great. Natee was right around the 50th percentile for everything and Bennett was just a little above that for all of his stuff. All in all they are healthy kids, which we thank God for every day! They are both such a blessing to us and we can't imagine our lives without them...and we can't wait to give them a new sibling soon...life in the Feldman house will be busy but oh so blessed! Well...I'd better wrap this up and go to bed...hope you liked the little update! :)

Ali - they are so adorable :) And I know what you mean about the paperwork - I don't miss that one bit! You continue to be in our prayers.
Love,
Matt, Sarah, and Family
Love the pic of Jon and Bennett sleeping! Glad you can see the end in sight of all that paperwork!!
I forgot Ole came over for a playdate... I saw the picture of him from behind and thought "that looks just like Olaf!" haha... I'm amazed he sat and colored so nicely! He doesn't do that at home... maybe I'll have to try again. Or maybe Natalee's just a good influence. :)
Can't wait to meet #3 soon!! And we'll see you Thursday in court (at least we're going to court for a GOOD thing - ha!)!!
Love you!
