We Can Hardly Wait!

Right now my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and nephew are in India! They are adopting a little girl and they went to pick her up...finally! We've been praying for them for forever. They picked the little girl they wanted to adopt over a year ago and so we've been praying for her and we can hardly wait to meet her. They've been updating us on their blog and emailing pictures of the first time they met her. It is so exciting. They'll be home a week from Monday! Yay! Of course, it will take her time to adjust to a new family, new country, new everything. We've had lots of discussions around our house about how the girls won't be able to play with her for awhile. So, we'll continue to pray for her and her transition and then the girls will go crazy playing with their new cousin!

Thankfulness Day #11

Today I am so excited and thankful for adoptions! Tonight my sister-in-law had a 'toddler shower' for the little girl they are adopting. She'll be 2 in January. I'm so excited to meet this new member of our extended family. We've been praying for her for months. Abigail prays for her everyday, sometimes several times a day. We talk about her like we talk about the other cousins, like we already know her. We want her home with her new family by Christmas, but there is still some more paperwork that has to get approved before she can come home. It's just a waiting game. Please join me in praying for her to be home for Christmas.
