While We Wait.....

Thank goodness we are so busy--it makes the waiting game a bit easier. But in the mean time, Nole' asks every morning for his "little brudder?" We've cleared out the other side of Nole's room to be able to shift Nole's toddler bed over for Simon....and then make way for a big boy twin-sized bed for Nole'.

I was so excited when another adoptive Mommy posted a link on Facebook for this adorable shirt. I just had to order it for Simon to wear on his Gotcha Day....whenever that may be.... (it was on clearance from Gymboree)

We are scheduled for our first home study meeting with our new social worker next Monday afternoon. The second meeting will take place in our home the very next day. The second meeting is for the social worker to meet and visit with our children. So excited, although nervous! You would think that after the third home study, we would be old hats at this...but nope....still nerve wracking!

Please pray that as we meet inevitable obstacles, that we would be gracious, strong, and have a sense of peace. The adoption process is NOT for the faint of heart, that is for sure!

But, we have the best network of support--So thank you for your prayers and continued encouragement. It truly does make a world of difference!

Blessings, Paula
