The Waiting Game

Wow, Happy New Year!  :)

I haven't posted in a while and I'm sorry...  Life gets really busy sometimes!  ;)

Well, the title pretty much says it all right now...  we are in the waiting game.  Some of our paperwork is in China getting translated...  :)  I'm thinking we may email just to see the status of it, is all of our paperwork there yet or not?  :)  Once they get it all translated, they will let AWAA know and then they will start sending us referrals of kids.

Then, the hard part comes, picking out or children!

Ok, saying "picking out our children" is really kinda weird to me!  Not the our children, but the whole picking them out...  How does one do that?  I know without a doubt that God will give us peace about them, but it just sounds kinda weird to me still!  :)

Once that happens we get approved, with yes, they are yours, then we get a travel date and then we are off!  :)

I want to say we are kinda on the down side of the slide, but not totally!  Just the whole waiting part...  Maybe i'll say it AFTER we get the referrals!  :)

For the Life Song Adoption Fund, WOW!!!  Got our socks blown off!  If you still want to donate you can, we had to set an date, but really, as long as we need the money and our kiddos aren't home yet, that fund is still open to us!  We have just over $7,000.00 as of Tuesday of last week!!!!  God has just been so good!  I mean, He's good all the time, but the blessings just keep coming!

I'm not sure just how much more my heart can take, seriously!!!!

We had someone drop off a DS on our front porch Christmas Eve for all the kids, it was used, but I don't care, just the generous gift, wow!!!  I'm blown away!  :)

Then we had 2 families just give the kids gifts, because they love us and they know we are tight with money due to the adoption!  I'm not gonna lie, y'all made their Christmas!  You went above and beyond and I'm just in totally awe and SPEECHLESS!!!!!  Thank you just does not seem adequate or even good enough!

Please keep us in your prayers as we play this waiting game..  ;)  I know God's got this and TOTALLY trust Him!

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
