ZOO DATE for everyone

Karen and I had a miss understanding on the zoo date. The new zoo date is on Saturday April 25. We are going the weekend of DEREK's big graduation from BYU! Congratulations Derek on this great accomplishment. Any of you who would like to go to the zoo that day are welcome to come. We will let you know the time as it gets closer.

Gary and I are knee deep in getting our home study done. We both have to get federal background checks on Monday and I am getting my physical done on Wednesday. Our doctor has to feel out a medical report on Gary and I. Luckily Gary has already had a physical. We are writing up autobiographies on ourselves. We are also required to take 30 hours of trainging for foster/adoptive parents. We feel like we are is school. Gary & I have been taking online classes. Last night I told Emmalynn that I had homework to do and she stated "mom your not in school" I had to explain I was taking classes on the computer and had some reading to do. Each class I take is anywhere from 14-31 pages single typed to read then I have to take a test. Needless to say the red tapes so to speak is a pain but we can understand why they have you do it so they make sure that they are putting these children in a good home. We are hoping to be done with our home study and classes by May so our social worker and make contact with Jaysin's and then we will go from there. We will be starting to finish a bedroom in the basement in case we are blessed to be able to adopt.

We hope all of you are doing well. Emmalynn is very excited about the Easter Egg hunt and Grandma's and Papa's house on Saturday with Tegan & Annie.

WE LOVE ALL OF YOU!
The Packard's
