IT is taking an international journey and I pray it gets there in record time! :)

Happy 4th Birthday Tavi!

My sweet little girl... how I wish I could have woken you up this morning singing "Happy Birthday!".

Cake, ice cream, presents, and a family to love you and spoil you on this day... you deserve so much more than this and yet you have none of it. Life has not been good to you so far, but God is good, and He is faithful... and He has tenderly cared for your heart and your future.

You are coming home baby girl! Home to a family with God at its center. Home to a family that has been longing for you for so long! Home to your own bed, your own clothes, your own mommy and daddy, your own brothers and sisters, your own pets, your own grandmas....

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Your eyes may not work, but honey we will help you see how good life is... how good GOD is!

My heart is singing, I got an update!!!!

This is what I received this morning:

"Tavi is doing very well, she is healthy and well. She is a very cute child and is very well orientated despite her blindness. The director says that she likes to sing a lot and does so in a very special and cute way. [Tavi turns 4 tomorrow!]

Yana is healthy and well too. She doesn't walk yet but stands up in her crib and walks in it holding on to it. There is not much progress in her development but there is no digression either. [Yana is 6 1/2, DS, hydrocephalus]

Both of the directors were excited when I told them that you will be here most probably in January"

*** DID YOU CATCH THAT? "You will be here most probably in Janauary!" Praise God!

I am mailing my dossier early next week. I should have the forms returned to me apostilled and ready to go by Tuesday!

PLEASE JOIN MY HEART AND SING OUT A PRAISE TO GOD THIS MORNING! I NEEDED THIS UPDATE SO BADLY!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Please pray....

Our lawyer in country is goign to try and call the girls orphanages tomorrow to get an update! Please pray that they are willing to talk with her!!!!!

Thank you all!

My paper baby is almost ready for delivery!

I have everything APOSTILLED! I have everything I need, minus 2 items that are being mailed to me tomorrow from AAC! Once I have those in my hands my dossier will be headed to my girls country!

Did I mention I continue to become more impatient, while at the same time trusting the Lords timing more and more each day! Talk about emotional confusion! :)

It's not right....

...the closer we get to meeting the girls, the more impatient I become. And the more patient my husband gets! BLECK! I don't want reassurance that it will happen, I want him to whine with me!

WE GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got the matching grant!!!! **** lots of happy dancing going on here!!!!! ****

We are working on it girls! Soon I will be able to see you face to face!

WOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO!
