Our first trip to the zoo this summer!

May Number!

Well being the end of the month you might be expecting me to post our waitlist number but from now on that's not going to happen. Our agency has decided since things are moving so slowly and that they don't feel that giving us a number every month is an accurate way of letting us know how we are progressing forward. So I personally am going to keep track the best I can on what "number" we are so that we as a family can have a general idea of where we're at. The kids have just started keeping track of our number by tearing off our paper chain each month and they love doing it so everytime I hear that there's a referral I'm still going to let them tear one off. So far this month I do know that there has been two referrals but a family that lost their referral just went back on at #1 so we are actually #38. Please be praying that mountains would move in Ethiopia and that those little ones that truly need a loving family would be paperwork ready so that more referrals can be given out. We are growing very weary and are just leaning on The One who brought us to this.

I decided to put the kids pics from the first day of school next to their last day of school.

What do you think? Have they changed?

February Number

Oh, friends my heart is yearning to see our sweet daughter's face today. This journey has seemed so long and seems to never end. I could really use some awesome news soon to lift my soul.....just being honest. For now I will rest in Him and continue down this path that He has chosen for us knowing that some day we will bring this new member into our family. Life doesn't stop in this rollercoaster ride of adoption and I must make myself present so I don't miss what He has for me along the way.
