Fall Fun














Here is a sweet picture of our boys and my neice Lexie at our house.They were sure playing hard.I can't wait until Maiya will be joining the bunch.Hopefully she will be home playing with the kiddos next fall.

Update-We are now waiting on our immigration approval.We cannot recieve a referral until the process is complete.They say about 90 days or more.We will just have to wait and see. The referral will come when it is time.
Congrats to all the families who are picking up their children.Happy and safe travels to all.It is exciting to think of more children coming in,I wonder if one will be ours? Have a great weekend to everyone.Gidget

Be still and wait

Well good morning to all.This week I have decided to take some time away from the computer!! I am trying to keep this adoption off of the forefront of my mind! I keep it still in my mind,but I need to just not think about it all the time.I need to focus my attention other places.
I need to just not be so busy,sometimes I just need to be still,mentally and physically.The adoption process can keep your mind so busy,with stress,what if's and with good thoughts also.Not counting the daily things that we deal with everyday.The latte break at the coffee shop was nice yesterday, a moment just to unwind and be still. Thats what I needed. Suprisingly,I read my devotion this morning and it was about being busy and not taking time to be still.It said what the world needs is not more coffee breaks but more prayer breaks,and that prayer is rest. I now realize that I need more spiritual rest.Isaiah 40:31 says waiting on the lord gives strength. I sure need more of that. How about you? Psalm 46:10 says,Be still and know that I am God.....this by the way is not the first time the lord has showed me this.This is about the 3rd time in the last 5 weeks....I need to get the picture,now would be a good time.It sure does take lots of strength in this waiting process and with each step,I am sure you all can relate. Let's all remember to take the time to rest,it will make all the difference....By the way we are happy and thankful this morning to have moved to lucky number 7!!!!!!Gidget

It's late and everyone is sleeping and I am baking fall cupcakes!!! A way to top off the beginning of fall.This weekened we are going to a benefit dinner for our friends,a birthday and a hayride and cookout,WOW all in one weekend.Sounds like a way to start off fall of the year!! I can't wait till Maiya will be making cupcakes with us,maybe next fall? Well just a thought. I have lots of those here lately.I will try and post some pictures of our fall weekend asap.I just got to find my camera cord, oops!!Until more news,Gidget
