" 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."
Ephesians 1:3-6

Two weeks and counting

         



              Well hello there, I am back now so I will fill you in on where we are in our adoption.
So far our caseworker now has all of our paperwork and has started writing the home study, which means she is basically accounting for everything we have done in the lats three years and putting it on paper. So she said that she would like to get it done in no more that  two weeks. During this time of her writing our job is to prepare our portfolio to be presented to a birth mother. So, I have spent about three days staring at the screen of my computer trying to make our portfolio AWESOME! With lots of pictures and stories of our lives together as a family. So, if you wouldn't mind saying a few prayers that this will all come together the way it should that would be fabulous.

      On another note, we have to be ready for a baby at anytime as soon as our home-study is done. so I am also over here wracking my brain trying to remember what I need for a baby hahaha you would think I could remember. After some brain storming for a bit I have decided that I want to go with cloth diapers for our new Baby/Babies. So I am  looking around for them for a good price. So, if you see some let me know if you don't mind. I am also looking on craigslist (I love craigslist stuff) as well, so I don't mind if they are used at all either. 
Thank you !!

Chicago Visit

                                                                 Chicago! 





                          
                             















 So, this week I went down to Chicago to help Shelli out with her super adorable children. Judah is doing fabulous, he is healing really fast!!  Today we worked on having him stand up a little and just trying to get him thinking about walking again. I am so proud of him, he is such a brave little man. Kirsi is doing so well, as energetic as always and smiley all the way, unless she's hungry or tired of course then those baby blue eyes start to tear up a bit. Shelli is a supermom and I am so glad to be here with her, we are having a good busy time.
