Well, not much to report around the Riggs' house. I worked all day Friday and then we had a teen activity that night. I worked Saturday and then we went to Clarksville to eat. Yesterday we went to church and then Sam, Emma, and I took a three hour nap. I felt great when I woke up, but I did not sleep much last night. I then went to work again today. I sure work a lot for being part time. Sam and Emma are doing good. Samuel is getting so big. He is always saying something that sounds so grown up. Emma is also becoming a little lady. She makes us laugh. I am sorry but I do not have any pictures to post tonight. Our battery in the camera is charging. Well, our homestudy for Chloe should be completed this week. We talked to our social worker today and they are waiting for a clearance letter from South Carolina. With the new adoption regulations they need police clearance from every state we lived in over the past 10 years. We also talked to our social worker in Michigan and she said we could get the official referral after our third visit which we are trying to schedule for July 17th. We are hopeful that all paperwork will be on its way by the end of July. With that said, please pray for me. I am starting to feel the familiar feeling of panic. We are trying to get our money together, finish paperwork, and buckle down for the hardest part of adoption...WAITING. I just feel like I have been in this process forever already. After the official referral they say it takes about 3 to 4 months for the baby to travel that puts us at October or November. We will be in the waiting period the same time as last year with Emma. I am getting anxious about the possibility of spending another Thanksgiving and Christmas without one of my children. I am also getting nervous about the fact that Chloe may be even older than Emma when she came home. Well I need to put the kids to bed. They have not been sleeping great the past few nights. I am not fighting this battle right now because we will be leaving in a few weeks out of town again so I will end up starting over again to get them to stay in their beds. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow.

It is always hard jumping back into a blog post because there is always so much that has happened since the last time that I posted. We have had a pretty major change in our family in the last month, but there is another sort of change that has inspired this post this morning. I cut my hair yesterday. I know life shattering isn't it? I know it seems so trivial, but the truth is the Lord revealed something to me that I have never really thought about. I love my hair. We have made some memories over my 39 years. It actually started the moment I was being born and the doctor told my mom that I had a full set of black hair. Given the fact that my brother and sister who came before me were both bald headed, I think my mom made a comment to the doctor about if he was sure I was hers. My very first compliment was about my hair! I lived my young life with nice thick hair. Sometimes it was long and sometimes it was cut short. My Pawpaw used to call me Pete Rose because I had the bowl cut ...
