We are got our TA!

We finally got our travel approval. We leave in 18 days. We are overwhelmed with joy. Praise the Lord! Sweet Anna we are coming very soon. Please join us in prayer for Anna and our family as we prepare to travel. Pray that God will supernaturally bond our hearts when we meet face to face, pray for healthy and safe travels. Now we have got to get busy packing!

Happy Birthday! Mikey!

Yesterday was Mikes's Birthday! I won't share his age, let's just say we aren't spring chickens at our house. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful, caring and Christ seeking hubby. He blesses our family way beyond my imagination. I love you sweetheart. Happy Day!

Anna's Room

Oh my, I am so excited to finally let you see Anna's room. Not sure if I have ever mentioned my love of owls?? Well, I love owls and when I found this wall stencil I knew it was perfect for Anna's room. My sweet friend Demetria, who is also waiting to get her daughter, helped me put up the stencil. It was so much fun talking about our sweet girls and knowing one day soon they will meet each other. Our boys absolutely love their sisters' room. They have been playing with her toys and loving on her stuffed animals. We are so ready to get her!! They ask every day when are we going to get Anna. Hope to hear our travel dates soon, until then we will keep praying for our sweet girl and getting everything ready for her arrival.

Happy Chinese New Year

We got to celebrate a little early for Chinese New Year this Friday night. We welcomed home our friends The Millers and their 2 boys Daniel and David from China. It was so sweet seeing these precious boys with Mary and Lee.
Our boys made a welcome home sign and just loved watching them come home. They are very excited about their baby sister that will soon be here with us.
We also went to an authentic Chinese restaurant and enjoyed some delicous food prior to going to the airport. It was Matthew and Ethan's first time to eat authentic Chinese food. They really liked the fried rice and eggrolls. I know we will eats lots of yummy food while we are in China.
Welcome Home Miller Family!!

HOW TIME FLYS

It seems like yesterday it was a few weeks before Christmas. Wow! We had a wonderful Christmas with our families this year and a laid-back New Years eve. It was great. We got a special present Christmas Eve. We found out we were officially waiting on travel approval (TA).
Yay. What a sweet gift! So, what does that mean, well from my understanding TA usually takes 3 weeks give or take few days with the Holidays. Then you usually travel 2-3 weeks after you get a call with your approval. Meaning we should travel in February.
I will post again once we get all our info for those few followers of our blog. Pray with us For Anna Kathryn. Pray God is preparing her for our family, that everything will go as smooth as possible when we travel. We will take our boys too. I can't wait!!

Christmas is Coming!

Are you ready? I don't mean all your shopping. I have really been trying to keep my focus on Jesus this year. That's what Christmas is all about. We have been trying to spend more time as a family really talking about Jesus' birth and what that means to us. Thanking God for His precious son that has Saved us from an eternal death. Remember to take time each day to remember what this season is all about.
I have also been trying to make lots of memories with the kids. We have made gingerbread cookies, Christmas tree cookies and homemade ornaments for their friends. It has been such a sweet time. Can't wait to spend the next few weeks snuggling them up in our nest.

Happy Birthday Ethan!!

Ethan turned 5 yesterday!! I can't believe this sweet boy is now 5. Wow! How time flys!
Ethan you are a special gift from God. You are full of Joy and have a special spirit about you. I can't wait to see all the plans God has for you. We love you sweet boy!!
