Bringing Home Blue

Here are some pictures that we took on vacation for our family book!

It has been a long while since we have posted so I thought an update was in order. We did have our second home visit on August 6.  We thought it again went really well.  Lots more questions were answered as well as more questions arose.  We are getting more and more excited and the girls are getting more and more annoyed with this adoption process.  In their little minds they expect our little guy to come any day and mention a lot, to anyone who will listen, that we are getting a baby brother...along with the question, when is he coming again mom?  We are still praying God will give us the right timing since my school year begins on Wednesday.  I am getting excited about putting a book about our family together to show to the birth moms.  I anxiously plan layouts, take pictures, get ideas, take more pictures, rearrange ideas and then again take more pictures for our book.  I am starting to realize it is a lot more fun to plan for our little guy and work on this book and let God do all the worrying about timing and the stressful stuff.  Maybe I will give all that stressful stuff up and let Him take care of it.  (Yah, right!!)  I wanted to post some pictures we took as a family on vacation that I thought would be good to open our family book with. Let me know what you think!!

We ask for your prayers as we anticipate the 3rd and final home visit where our Social Worker will be given a name to our girls instead of "that lady"! She will have time alone with each of them and have to see the house.  (Any volunteers to help clean?) I am a little nervous about my girls time alone with her because you never know with little ones what they might say!  We also pray that God will bring wisdom as we decide when to put our family book out to be seen, which means we could get chosen and get our little guy at any time!! 

Our time on vacation just reassured me of what a wonderful extended family we have to share with a little guy.  Seeing Tim with his nephews and how much love he shares with them (they also share wrestling, wedgies and lots of laughs) just makes me realize what a great dad he is and how neat a relationship he will have with our little guy.  One memorable memory from our vacation I have to share was when he was showing a little neighbor boy there how to "properly" hold and throw the football...he is always a coach...I cannot wait to see him coach a little guy of our own!! I love you Tim.
