Our court date is Dec 14th!!!!

We are so excited to have our court date of Dec 14th. We also received more medical records and Nathan's current ht/wt. It appears he is healthy and growing well.

Plans are to leave town on Dec 10th, be in Hawaii on Dec 11th, in Majuro, MI on Dec 12. Shew! Tired, just thinking about it!

Please pray for us as we make these travel arrangements, as this is a very costly part of this adoption. Please pray that the airline tickets will be "less" than expected!

Can't wait to kiss his sweet face!!!!

Holding our breath.......

We are praying that this is the week that we learn more about the baby girl God has planned for our family. We started this journey 2 years and 7 months ago and it is growing so exciting to think that the time may be close.

We updated our church family a couple weeks ago. It has been so exciting to share this time with them. They are truly our extended family -- they will be a large part of our baby's life, just as they are with our other children.

I hope this week brings news of "who" she is, what she looks like, when she was born, what her given name is, how soon we can grab her into our arms. And oh.... to see her picture....I feel like a love-struck teenager, always dreaming of "the day."

Keep us in your prayers and that our late minute arrangements will all fall into place.
