Patiently Waiting

Yes, I really am...
What's hard is hearing Thad say, I play with E--- and K---- mom!  You go get them ok mom?
Ugh....  he knows whats going on, he just doesn't understand the waiting part!  :)

I'm ready!  I've been "nesting", didn't know you go through that when adopting, but all the same, I'm chucking stuff that I don't need/want anymore....  Still stuff to go through, but got a good start!  :)  I could get more done if I didn't have 4 lil munchkins following me, what are you doing mom?  I've been giving them checklists to do, so they leave me alone for the most part... ;)  They REALLY like checking off something once it's done!  YAY!!!!  :)

So I "think" i figured out sizes for the kids!  Our lil girl will most likely be in a size 3, not sure about shoe size, but not worried about that!  :)
Our lil man will be a 5-6.  Our girl is about the same height and weight as Thad and our lil man is almost the same size as Skylar.  So that's the sizes they are in, so that's what I'm going with!  I hardly have any 5-6 summer things, so will go get a few outfits.  I'm not going to get alot b/c I'm not 100% sure they will fit, but I want to take a few things with us!  Less to buy is better!  :)  There is a Wal-Mart over there, so if we need to buy shoes, we can go there and buy a pair.  But I'd really like to not have to buy clothes!

I'm getting more and more excited as the days go on! 

Some days I can't believe we started this almost a year ago and they are almost here!!!  Yes, we could be waiting up to 5 months, but honestly, I'm ok with however long it will be!  I'd rather it be sooner, but am at COMPLETE peace as to God's timing.  I know His timing is PERFECT and I 100% trust that!

I can't wait to complete my family (for now...  ;))!!  I'm not sure what else God has in store for us, but I am SO ready!  I'm ready for Him to use us!  I'm ready for that next step, whatever it is, I'm going to follow Him!

Thank you again for all your love, support and prayers!  I don't think we could get this far if it weren't for all your prayers and support!  It means more than I can ever say!

I'm so excited to be able to tell others and talk to other families about adoption and help them start the process!  To tell them that if they truly are doing what God is calling them to do, then God will provide!  I can't wait to help these families more through the adoption process and watch how God is going to bless them!!!!  :)

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...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

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...
