Another Update!!!

We got a referral for a boy on Monday around noon.  I was out grocery shopping with Thad and the girls and Curt had Gavin at home...  He um got himself in some trouble, so he had to stay home...  ;)

Anyways, my cell rang, but of course at that time, my girls decided to start arguing and fighting and I couldn't get them quiet to pick up the phone.  I noticed the number and thought it was Aimee our contact from AWAA.  Then I get a text from Curt, hurry home, I got news.  So when I was in Giants, I texted back that she had tried to contact me but couldn't pick up, I said it's either a final approval for our girl or they gave us a referral for a boy, or both!  :)

It seems so weird to say approved when talking about our kids!  But it's what it is...  ;)
So we get home, unload the van and he said we got a referral for a boy!  So we sat down, looked at the pics they had of him and all the info about him.  Then we showed the kids and they were SUPER excited!!!  :D

They said that he was dropped off alongside the road at the age of one, they have no official birthday so they gave him the birthday of the day they found him.

He's 5 and deaf. 

I wish I could share more, but I have to keep it at that.  God knows which one he is so please be in prayer that everything goes smoothly and China says yes, we can have him! 

I can't post any pics up here as of yet...  But he's a cute lil dude!!!!  :)

We are still waiting on final approval for our lil girl..

We will also have to be in China for 3 weeks instead 2 like we thought.  But if we get the 2 we said yes we will take, they live in opposite sides of each other.  But trying to get a child in the same orphanage and all would be hard, not impossible because with God ALL things are possible, BUT I truly believe the kids we said yes we will take, will be ours!  :)

I feel like we have 2 feet in the door now and not just one.  Yes, we still need to wait, and I'm seriously patiently waiting.  This will all happen in HIS timing and it will be perfect!

So as I sit and wait, I'm praying that God blesses these 2 little kids.  I seriously can NOT wait to share more info, but can't on here!  Soon enough, we will be a family of 8!  WOW!!!  I'll have 6 kids!!  :D

Only by God's strength and grace!!  Thank you Jesus for all your blessings, the good and the bad!

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
