Little By Little Grow the Bananas ~ African Proverb

Today marks eight months on the wait list. I can't believe it has been eight months! Referrals have been far and few between since mid July but lots and lots of families have been getting through court, which is great news for them and great news for the families who will receive referrals during the rainy season, since it will make for less of a backlog when the courts reopen at the end of September/beginning of October.

This morning I drove into work behind a car with Texas plates, a rare sighting in Connecticut. Yesterday a call came in on my cell phone with a Texas area code. I never get calls from Texas! Never! Perhaps foreshadowing of things to come...

(If you are wondering why I am talking about Texas, it is because that is where "the call" will be coming from...)

We continue to pass the time with lots of helpful snuggles from the fur babes.

Princess Lucy

Porter, named after Porterhill where Mark & I met. Porter always sleeps with his tongue sticking out like this...six years we've had him and we still get a chuckle every time.

Duncan a.k.a Squishy cause he is soft and squishy a.k.a. Puddum-Cake cause, well, look at that puddum face!

It's a rough life for the fur babies...

And someday I will be also be mother to babies who don't have fur!
