Happy Birthday Little Man

Today Little Man turns 8 months old. Happy Birthday my sweet boy. Wish we could be spending this day with you but that is not to be. Praying and wishing I do not miss your 9 month birthday. Take care and I will be keeping you in my thoughts always until the day mommy can hold you again. Love you much!

Merry Christmas

Just a short post to tell Little Man Merry Christmas. Santa brought you some surprises and we will wait until you get home and your sister said she will help you open them. Lindze told me yesterday that what she wanted for Christmas was for Santa Claus to bring you home on his sleigh. I got some new pictures of you and you are growing up so fast. We love you and hope to see you very soon.
Love,
Mom, Dad and Lindze

Nothing New!

Well I have not felt like blogging lately due to the state of affairs with our adoption. The country we are dealing with have seemed fit to stall all of us parents out and make our babies stay in an orphanage until they I guess develop a heart enough to sign some letters. Pretty simple huh! Just sign the stinking letters. How hard can that really be to put your signature on a piece of paper!
Anyway if you can believe it, I am in a better mood than I have been for the past month. I am trying to maintain a Christmas spirit for Lindze's sake. I had hoped my son would be home by now but that is not to be. I am going to try to attach a few photos of my girl after her Christmas program today at church. She played one of the angels. She was so cute. If I get any good news I am sure I will get back to blogging regularly but until then I do not know.

Happy Early Thanksgiving

Just a post to say that I got some new pictures of little man and he is not going to be little man by the time we get there. He is growing like a weed. He has these chubby cheeks that you just want to pinch. I can tell that he must be getting okay care because he has a smile in like half of the many pictures I received. He is just adorable and it makes me miss him so much especially considering he turned 7 months old today. I owe J big time for getting these to me today of all days. We are hoping to get some kind of an update maybe by the end of this week as to what is going on with getting our babies home. We need to pray hard that this wait comes to an end very soon!
Happy Early Thanksgiving to all of you guys out there. I have to work Thursday night so you guys out there enjoy the day and we have to remember to be thankful for what we have right now and also for what we have waiting for us in a country far far away.

Happy 7 Month Birthday

Just wanted to wish my little man a happy 7 month birthday. I miss you and love you and so want to bring you home soon.
Love,
Momma

Kids Are So Receptive

I did not realize how receptive my daughter was to things going on around her. I had been on a major downer lately regarding not bringing Little Man home and not having any clue when with all of the problems in his country. I have tried and thought I was being successful in maintaining a pretty positive disposition around Lindze. I actually try to save the tears for bedtime or just when she is not around. Tonight at bedtime her prayer brought me to tears. She prayed for her baby brother to be home soon. She also prayed for her mommy to not be so sad all of the time and that "God please bring brother home for Christmas so mommy would be happy and not cry". It took everything I had to hold it together while I was putting her to bed. I guess I am not doing a good job of maintaining that happy disposition I was talking about if my almost 5 year old is picking up on how sad I have been. I will have to work a little harder on hiding my feelings. I don't know what I would do right now if I did not have Lindze. She is the light of my life.
Nothing new on the adoption front. Still waiting for some people in a certain country to grow a heart and sign some letters for all of us waiting. Keep the prayers coming!

Strike a Pose

Nothing new on the adoption front. Just continuing to wait for some kind of an update. Promised a picture of my Little Tinkerbell Lindze so here she is. Isn't she just the cutest!!!
