Whew! One fourth grade homeschool portfolio is completed. It wasn't particularly "hard" but it did take all day. Tomorrow we see the state certified teacher to go over the records and collect our "written narrative" from her to include with our fifth grade "Intent to Home School" form. Our outline of intended curriculum and book list is complete, and all of our books are either sitting on the school shelf, or have been ordered. We are as ready as you can get for the coming school year.
Now the race is back on to get our adoption paperwork in order. We completed several more sections of the "Monster Class" last night, so are nearly half way through it. The fire extinguisher (in a lovely red!) is mounted on the kitchen wall, and there are several more smoke detectors hung on ceilings throughout the house. We never were able to find our fire escape ladder, so Ethan purchased a new one. It may be just as well. This one is very lightweight, and Tikvah should actually be able to handle it if she ever needs to.
I had thought we could call for the fire safety inspection today, but we are still missing a couple of elements. We need to post WHEN we are going to have fire drills, and we need to post a diagram of the fire escape route in each bedroom. I'm wishing that an art gifted friend would happen to stop in for coffee!
Good news on the physician issue. Amanda recommended her doctor, who happens to have an office manager who is a notary. Ethan and Ruth have appointments next week. I see my local doctor on Thursday. If she is not able to update my physical from a couple of months ago and notarize it all, I will snatch Ruth's appointment. Since hers doesn't have to be notarized, we do still have the Urgent Care or Kroger walk in clinic options for her. This should not only eliminate the need for two checkups, but also get it all done at least a week sooner than if we had to go to Lafayette.
No goodies in the mail today, so keep praying for Ethan's birth certificate to come!
