Life is changing.....

Wow, what a week this past week was. In case you did not go over to our adoption blog, we have been referred A SON! His name will be Ethan William. He is almost 9 months old. He has an unrepaired cleft lip and cleft palate. He's the cutest little boy! We're so excited and also very surprised with his age. We were expecting a toddler. But very happy for a baby. Everything is going fast and smooth. We accepted his referral on July 7th. We have a LID of July 9th. We are currently waiting for our pre-approval from China. This could take a few weeks. We hope to travel by the end of this year.

In between the excitement of finding out we have a son waiting for us, the girls have been keeping us busy. Tiffani went bowling with her friend Ashley & 2 boys. Yes, there was an adult chaperone. And I was informed this was not a date. :-) They had a lot of fun and they are all good friends. Tiff has also had several sleep overs, one that the girls stayed up till 3:30 AM. I was not too thrilled about this. I'm really enjoying the friends Tiff has and so glad they come over to our house. Tiff has had a wonderful summer so far. She has also started going to band and is getting more comfortable with that. Band camp starts Aug 5th.

Abby & Jadyn have been busy too. Abby had a playdate the other day with her BFF from school. She had a blast. Jadyn & I spent some time together while Abby was gone. All of Jadyn's BFF's have been away for the summer. They should be home soon. Abby & Jadyn I think need a break from each other. They have started fighting a lot. Typical sister fighting. We will be ready for school to begin. :-)

The girls are very excited about having a baby brother. Abby has already told me how she plans to help me. Jadyn is telling everyone that his lip is broken, but it will get fixed. And that we need to get him a crib and that he does not have a foster mom. Tiff was texting all of her friends while Bill & I were still on the phone with our adoption agency. She is thrilled.

It's a new week. We don't know what God has planned for us yet. So far, so good.

Until next time......
