Every day a little closer and yet so far away...

Everyday we feel like we are getting a little closer to our princess and yet then something happens and we are still so far away!.... Almost have all our paperwork please pray that we get the final items this week. It would be fantastic and a relief to have everything ready. Because everyday we crave for her to be home with us.

To our little princess,

Everyday we pray for you. You brothers and sister are ready to have you home with us. they ask daily when it will be. At night when I lie down you are always on my mind. Do you know that your mom and dad are trying to get there as soon as we can. We only hope you know how much we love you already. We are asked daily how we know you are the "one". Without hesitating I reply " She was brought to this earth by a strong and brave woman, I will be blessed to be her mother and as I held her I knew she belonged with us for time and eternity." Soon people will come and your friends will be with there forever families. Let there be peace in your heart that we are coming. We love you!

Love,

Mom, Dad, and your brothers and sister!

In GOD's Hands...Truely

Well many things have happened this week that have truly been out of our hands. Here are a few updates.

We have meet some amazing people and friends along this journey!......I received a facebook message from a friend with an amazing offer. See the had recently been blessed with a new vehicle for there family. they truly wanted to give back to others. They located a refugee help organization to see if they could sell there extra vehicle for cheap to someone that could really use it. To there surprise there was a family that had been given a grant to purchase a car. Wow awesome that they can help someone else. This is were the double blessing comes in .... They are donating the money from the sell of the car to our adoption fund!... We feel so blessed and honored that they would consider us. Ohhh how we look forward to helping others on there journey thru adoption.

We have almost received all our paperwork needed to send off to our attorney. We are very excited to feel like this week we took 10 steps forward and only a few back. As anyone who has been thru this process knows there are ups and downs and twists and turns. Some days feel better than other and some days you just hope it get thru until bed time.

I have had a few of those just getting thru days as of late. Today I spent the days with my Kids and a great friends. We had lunch with friends that drove down to our area. It was nice to sit and have a non adoption conversation for a little bit. After we attended a birthday for a sweet girl turning 9. It was just our 2 families at the pool. Although swimming in the kids pool doesn't always sound fun it was truly relaxing to just play with my kids!... Then ICE CREAM! always makes for a great time and then home for movie night. I have been given the most wonderful children. I only hope they know how much I love each of them tonight when I sneak in to kiss them good night.

Well tonight I feel like I am rambling on.... Please continue to have us in your prayers and thoughts. We can not wait to have our newest angel in our arms!....May she rest peacefully tonight knowing we are doing everything we can to bring her home to her forever family!

This is what our little one had to eat today ... and I am certain she thanked Heavenly Father for it!...

No break here~~~

Well spring break has started and there is no break here at our house. Collecting donated items to resell and getting paperwork together. Today we recieved news that our little one is doing well and remaining healthly!... What a happy momma that makes me. I only wish she knew how hard we are trying to get back to her.

In the same breath we also learned that it would be pure chance that we get there soon. It is out of our hands at this point. We are waiting for paperwork that we can not push any faster. So here we sit trying to go about the daily life of this adoptive family on this never ending rollercoaster!

Today I was given a little peice of paper with this written on it.....

"Your journey is not easy but so very worth it in the end!"

I am so greatful for those who always pick the right time to give me a little push.

Thank you for your prays ... Goodness know we need them! Off to spend some time with my fun big kiddos this week!
