I love little girls!!!

Have you thought about adoption?

Adoption is such a miracle. Have you thought about expanding your family with one of God's little miracles?



Just wanted to give my readers something to pray about!

A poem for our sweet baby girl!

Congratulations to Joy and Javier who passed court today! They are adopting two little ones and are an amazing couple! Check out their blog!

We got a court date yesterday and I'm so happy! I am also so full of other emotions. It's hard to explain. It is a weird feeling to miss someone you have never met. I can honestly say that I miss our baby so much. My heart aches to see her, hold her, sing to her, play with her, and pray with her. (it will be nice to put her in girls clothes too) It used to be more of a feeling of excitement but it's more than that now, it's an ache in my heart. It does help to have a court date and know that their is a day to look forward to. In the meantime, I will pray for her every day.

I found this poem:

May you be safe while you're waiting...

May you be safe and sleep soundly through the night
May you be safe as you wake to the morning's light
May you feel our love from so far away,
May it comfort and protect you throughout each day.

We will pray for you my little one,
Until our time of waiting is done.
We will pray that the Lord keep you safe from harm,
Until the child of our hearts becomes the child in our arms.

Halleluyer!

A lot of fun stuff happened this weekend but I only have time to update you on one thing...

WE GOT OUR COURT DATE! Dec 8th!!!!!!

Update!

Let me start off by saying, we did not get a court date. :( But we did get an update on our daughter. Yeah!!! They sent us 2 new pictures and a medical update. She is healthy. She is 5 months now and is 11.5 pds. She is 22 inches long. The doctors report said that she can roll from stomach to her back and she is imitating sounds. It was so awesome to read that she is progessing but it was also so hard because I am missing so much. I am so happy that she is healthy.

When Rick saw the pictures of her he thought is was a different baby. They had her in boy clothes and a blue blanket. It looked like her to me because I was looking at her face. She has grown some more hair. It was so funny because it was slicked down to her head like a comb-over. lol. She is so cute!!! Don't worry honey, I will put you in girls clothes!

Court dates are becoming slimmer before the year ends so I keep praying. In the meantime, I will continue to stare at her pictures!

In the meantime, We head to Kansas City this week for a baby shower that my friend Cindy and my mom are putting on for us.

Come on court date!!!!!!

Teenagers, gotta love em' Part 3: TP'd AGAIN!!!

(This is not our house,just an example.)

It was 1:30 in the morning on Friday night. The dogs were barking like crazy. I thought they heard the coyotes outside and were barking because of that but we should have listened. Five to ten minutes later the door bell rang and it scared the begeezes out of me. Rick and I sprung out of bed to see what was going on. Rick saw no one outside when he looked. As he opened the door, we saw it! OH MAN!!! Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Are we the only house that these kids have to TP?

I can't figure out if our teenager, Savannah, is really popular or not liked. Either way, I'm tired of cleaning up the mess. Ironically, Savannah wasn't even home so guess who got to clean up the mess? Well it sure wasn't the man with the sling on his arm. Oh man....Teanagers, gotta love em?

Still no court date...

Someone sent this to my email! LOL!!!! I told you it was amazing what people can do with photoshop! Look at my picture on the side, I'm actually 60! lol

Funny....

So a friend of mine, JT, wrote a really funny comment on my last post. (Feel free to go read it) This morning I got a follow up email from him saying this,

"Hey… as you wait (painfully at time no doubt) for your baby girl, I thought this would amuse you:"

Then he included this picture:



That is so funny! How did he find that????
He let me in on the secret:http://www.churchsigngenerator.com/

Thanks for the good laugh JT! Such a funny guy and a great realtor too by the way!

Ho humm.....

Still waiting for a court date. All of the October dates are gone and the November dates will probably be gone soon. I spoke with our agency yesterday and they are trying. (I don't know what that means but I'm sure they are)One of my God given gifts is NOT patience so maybe this is a lesson. HHmmmm???

This is my patience level, especially when golfing...



Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Romans 12:12 (RSV)


It is so hard to know that my baby girl is ready to have someone hold her and love on her and I can't because of legal reasons. Bummer!

Thank you Lord for Your will being done in Your timing! Amen.
