Fingerprint Day

Well, today was the greatly anticipated fingerprint day. And, despite the fact that I temporarily lost my wallet which contained my photo identification, it was a fun day. We picked Spencer up from school at 10:30 to head to Indy and made it in plenty of time this time - no road construction or detours that slowed us down today.

The waiting room at CIS was much busier today. Last time (October 28, 2005) we were the only ones in the waiting room. Not today! There were lots of people. Seven of us were called back at the same time to be fingerprinted. Luckily, Spencer was able to go back with us and watch the whole process. I was grateful for this, since I wasn't sure if they'd let him go back. And, just in case you're wondering, I was able to get the superglue off my fingers by soaking them in Palmolive and warm water for about 20 minutes last night - thank goodness!

After being fingerprinted we headed to Carmel to eat at BD's. Since we weren't quite hungry enough to eat yet, we went to Clay Terrace to walk around. We browsed around at Finish Line and Circuit City - where I happened to find a great camera bag that we plan to get for our trip to China, and Rick found a video camera we'll probably get for our trip as well. Close to where we parked was this store called "Lids". We thought about stopping in to see if we could get a different log-in-date (a.k.a. LID) ... you know, like maybe October 27, 2005.

Finally, we were ready to head to BD's Mongolian Barbeque where we feasted on delicous stir fry and then treated ourselves to ice cream sundaes. What a wonderful day we had together. We were so happy Spencer was able to go along with us this time and join in on one of the adoption hoops that will bring home his long-awaited sister. And, according to him, it's been the best Friday the 13th ever!
