What is going on!

Sorry it has been a long time since I posted, but we have so much to do.



Since they made our dates, we are now going to our family thing in OR next weekend. So now we are trying to make stays for both trips. It should be fun to see the people that we haven't seen in years. We were hoping that we would have her home before then but that didn't happen. So now we can take photos of her & know that in just a little while she will be in our arms. I guess that it is a good thing we will not have to take all her stuff with us so the car will not be as full. All the other kids are home so it will still be full. We are looking to have fun with everyone for the last trip before we bring home number 6.



We are waiting for our coordinator to tell us if they can get us visas for Kaz. So that we can get our plane tickets. It is hard because we know that it is not getting cheaper while we wait. I hope we can still get the tickets at the same price they told us this week next week, but that is in Gods hands.



So I bet you are wondering when we go back.



Will we go back soon!

I can't beleave that we will be holding her in our arms in just a little while.


We have no one over there that can take photos so we don't know how big she is getting or how she is doing. So I called Brent & asked him if he could get photos for us, but I didn't want photos for just us but for everyone that is waiting to go back with AO. He said he would try, that night I had a message on my phone saying that they will take photos for us in two weeks. When all the people get back from their trip. So maybe we will get a photo before we leave, if not at least everyone else will. I know the wait is hard for everyone so sometimes just a photo means so much.



So I want to put one of thoughs counters on here but I don't know how. Does anyone reading this know how?


Would you like to see more?


Here is our little one on day two of trip one.


She always has her mouth open, but never saying anything. The first two days we thought they didn't change her clothes she was in the same ones both days. But she always looked clean.

Will that is a little of what we are doing right now, & a look at thoughs eyes.

Take care, we love you all, & please keep us in your prays.

We get to go back!!

Will if you didn't catch the title we got dates. It is so good to know that we will get to go back sometime soon. It is not as soon as we would like it to be, but just having dates is good. At least she won't be walking yet when we go back.

Will how about some photos.

This is our veiw from the other side the first day. She is getting ready to let us hold her.

This is daddy getting to hold her first, he loved that. She was so tiny. There was three layers of clothes on her, but she still looked so very tiny.

Hope you liked the peek.

Take care, Michele

If only!

If only we were on a plane today. Then things would seem so much happier. ( at least that is what we would love to believe ) But we all know that we have too much to do still, & that it is in Gods time not ours.


If we were going by what they told us over there we would have left today, but the people over here don't think that is right. They have not even asked them as far as we can tell. So we keep praying that they will call them & let us know something. It seems like they should tell us something.


The wait seems to be getting harder everyday, you just wish you could be with her. But then you feel bad because you have so much here to love & do. The kids are all home so it is so nice to have them all here. It's just that we wanted to get her home before some of them leave, also we have a family get together at the end of this month that we were hoping to take her to. Most of those people might not get to see her any other way.


Will I guess that is about all of the boohooing I should be doing.


I know, put my trust in God & let him take control. He has the right time & place for everything.



Will here is some photos for you:







She had very tiny hands.
This is the first time we ever saw her. We didn't get a photo before we went over so this is what we saw. We didn't even now that was her, 'til just then.


Hope you liked the photos.


Thanks for reading my blog. Sorry so bummed.


Love all ya,


Michele
