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!

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.
