On Monday, November 24, Michael and I met with Tonya from Options 4 Adoption at a little deli in Marietta (Square Bagel - it rocks). We had a nice late lunch with her and her daughter. She gave us some details of adoption from Ukraine as well as some money amounts. We both left feeling somewhat overwhelmed, but positive. On the drive home we came up with some ideas on different avenues we might pursue to pay for the adoption.
On Wednesday we took our precious puppy, Beau, to the vet for his annual check-up. He was diagnosed with glaucoma. If we do not begin very quickly to give him some expensive drops every day, he could go blind in a very painful manner. This is so puzzling since he is only 19 months old. We are comparing prices on the drops and learning all we can about the disease.
On Thursday, we had our "traditional" breakfast of cinnamon rolls and watched some of the Macy's Parade. We had Thanksgiving lunch with our neighbors Rene, David, Camden and Nicholas. We then headed to McDonough to visit with my dad and his family. Since my step-mother, Carol, has been fighting bronchitis for seven weeks, we had dinner at The Cracker Barrell. After dinner we headed back to Dad and Carol's house to visit with Dad, my brother, John and many members of Carol's family. We sat with Daddy and discussed the adoption. He is very supportive and gave us some financial advice, as well as name advice. Of course, this is the man that wanted to name my niece Alouicious, even before we knew her gender! Thankfully, my sister didn't listen! He actually gave some good name suggestions, though!
We have another Thankgiving tomorrow with Michael's family. His parents have been in Myrtle Beach for the past week, so this is the first time we could get together. I am looking forward to everything but the football talk!
