Home Study visit #2

2 hours of LOTS of questions!
It was me by myself, Richard will have a separate one of the same next week.
At later points, talks with me & Richard together, actual inspection of the home, as well as talks with the kids.

Wyatt went down for a nap right before she arrived,
Brett went to his friend Lewis' house,
and Matthew was unexpectedly home sick from school (but kept quiet and very happy with new Lego set!).

Questions started with my childhood, relationships with friends, family, and of course Richard.

At one of the next meetings she will need to talk to the kids (well, maybe not so much with Wyatt), and that it was better to talk to them with adoption having been discussed. I had thought we might wait a while longer, seeing how we aren't planning on it actually happening for a while, hopefully sometime next year. So anyways, she suggested we tell them.

And after she left today I told Matthew. He was fine with it, as long as a sister doesn't like Hannah Montana (which would apparently be the worst thing in the world). And then when Brett got home, Matthew informed him. Neither was shocked. I suppose it seems entirely abstract to them, especially when I told Brett it would probably happen after he's already done with Kindergarten (even Kinder starting seems forever away for him).

Wyatt will just be happy to not have to accessorize with pink floral.
