It's been awhile since I posted anything and alot of exciting things have happened! Most importantly - our son had his first birthday! Alex turned one on October 14th. It was such a bittersweet day. I hated not being able to be there on his big day. God-willing, this will be the last birthday that Alex will have to spend as a child without his mommy and daddy. Doug & I didn't know how to celebrate without having him here with us - so we did the next best thing and went out for Chinese for dinner! We had fun and so did big brother Samuel. My fortune cookie actually read that night "Your ability to love, will help a child in need." It brought me to tears and Doug wondered if God wrote those things!
In the past few weeks we've gotten our I800 paperwork in and also got all our paperwork in to get our visa's to be able to travel. So, it's just a waiting game now. We're waiting for our travel approval - which will give us our actual travel dates. We're still hoping and praying that it will be before the end of the year. It's funny - because I've been so busy with paperwork since all of this started that I have been wishing for this break to come when I didn't have any to fill out....and now that it is here...I don't know what to do! I feel like I am missing something and there should be something that I need to fill out. I'm trying to take this time to get ready for Alex's arrival since I know the paperwork will start back up again soon. I'm working on cleaning out his room and getting it ready for him. I'm also trying to sort through Sam's clothes and old bottles and stuff like that. It's challenging with an energetic 2 year old in the house who desparately want to help also!
We're thankful for the blessing of Alex and can't wait to get him home. We pray that God will keep him safe and healthy while we all wait for his perfect timing.
