It has been a while since I have updated all of you, so here I go. We submitted all of our paperwork to our agency at the beginning of February and we are now
officially waiting for our referral (meaning our child's picture and information)!!! Every time my phone rings my heart jumps and I am running to answer it. Sorry to those of you who have called and I sound disappointed when I hear your voice:) We are still praying that we will have her home this summer! We can't wait to see her face and know her name. We have such a love for her and we have no idea who she is. I just know that my child is half a world away living, breathing, laughing, playing, crying and all the things that my children are doing here. I just can't wait to hold her warm little body in my arms and let her know that we have loved her before we knew her and we think about her every second of everyday. It is hard not knowing what she is encountering everyday but we pray for her and her caretakers that God bless them and keep them safe while we are away. Our kids are so excited to meet their sister. We have been getting the girl's room ready so the bunk bed can be moved in and have it all ready for when she gets home. Lilah said she will sleep with her if she is scared:) Lilah is so excited to not be the little sister anymore. I am just trying to keep myself busy so that the days go by quickly and we get one day closer to her!
Reminder: Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser is this Saturday March 2nd from 7am to 10am at the Grimes United Methodist Church ( 801 W 1st St. Grimes). We will be serving pancakes, sausages, eggs, oj, coffee& muffins!! Come hungry!!
We were also so blessed to have Tyler's K-1st grade teacher take time out of her day to make cookies (little pieces of art) for our bake sale!! She does such an amazing job and be sure to check out her other creative masterpieces at The Creative Cookie on facebook or fromsweetcorntopeaches.blogspot.com
What an amazing talent this girl has!! Thanks again Jessica:)
