Happy Mother's Day!

What a wonderful Mother's Day I have had today.  My day started out with breakfast in bed and receiving wonderful little crafts and pictures from my boys.  This picture that Jonas, our 7 year old, drew for me was such a reminder of our little girl whom we do not know yet.  The boys are so excited to get their sister.  Jonas even colored her skin a little darker and made big beautiful eyelashes on her.  I already miss her and don't even know her yet. 

Our process is finally starting to move forward again.  We received our finalized hard copy of our home study in the mail late last week.  We had been waiting on that for 2 months.  That allowed us to make the next step in mailing off our 1-800A application for applying for immigration approval to adopt a child from China.  Hopefully within a month we will receive approval to be fingerprinted and then be able to move closer to getting documents all ready to send to China. 

This past month has been full of blessings!  We have done 4 different fundraisers and God has been so good!  We do plan to get a raffle up and going soon as well. 

Thank you for your prayers for us and our little girl.  We hope to receive a phone call and be able to share her picture with you very soon.  Until then, I will leave this picture drawing of our daughter with you to pray for.  God's timing is perfect and we are excited to be a part of it!
