Getting Closer!!

On Thursday night, Jason opened his email to find that we had received the 1800 provisional approval which is what we had been waiting for in this next step of the adoption journey! For many of you who have been asking, this is the paperwork done here in the US for Moses to come home. This paperwork is then sent to China to be processed and then we should be receiving travel approval. So, all that to say, we ARE getting closer!!! Hannah had VBS this week and loved every minute of it. On Tuesday, they could dress like a princess and she spent a lot of time coordinating this outfit and accessories. On Friday, we drove to Hocking Hills for a family getaway. We met a friend and spent some time on his property, and then were planning to hike. Our plans changed quickly when this crazy storm came. Thankfully, we found shelter in this little country store. After the storm, there were trees down on the roads and it was pretty messy. Needless to say, we changed our hiking plans and went to see Jason's helicopter since his work base was on the way home. So thankful for God's protection!

While We Wait......

So while we wait, it has rained almost everyday! While we wait, we have tried to stay busy with indoor projects and have squeezed in some precious time having picnics with family and friends. While we wait, we have been trying to raise the money needed for the adoption through a garage sale at my Mom's house. And lastly, while we wait, two little girls and a little boy have raised $221.00 to bring home their little brothers by saving their money, making duct tape projects and cookies!!!!!

More Moses Pics!

We heard that he is a "happy boy" and as you can see by the pictures...Moses likes to smile! Please continue to pray for the rest of the paperwork to process quickly as we are ready to go get him!!! And, for his little heart to be ready for his new family. Looks like there may be another delay as the Chinese Consulate is moving buildings and will be closed for over a week. We'll keep you posted:)

New updates today!!!

Here's our adorable Moses.... He's about 31 pounds and 33 inches tall. The last picture we posted was dated December 2012, so he has changed so much! What a gift it was to receive pictures today! We can't wait until we can finally see him. Praying these next couple months fly by!

A package for Moses

Yesterday was a fun shopping day online looking for the right care package to send to our little guy. We finally decided on this one after several hours of looking. We were remembering the package that we sent to Hannah 7 years ago and we treasure the pictures we got back that her Nanny took with the camera. Hoping Moses gets this soon and praying that we get some updated pictures, too!!!:)
