No news yet!!

I have not received our LOA yet from China...This is our Letter of Acceptance from China. 

We are on day 70 of waiting.....I am beyond frustrated and upset.....But I have to trust that everything happens

for a reason.....I put my faith in the Lord and know that when we go get Olivia Grace....will be when we are

supposed to!!

Please pray for Olivia Grace and our family during this wait!!

My Benjamin Button

Benjamin,

Your fourth birthday is coming up soon.  It seems like yesterday you entered into our lives.  I wanted to let you know some of my most favorite things about you right now.  You absolutely LOVE to snuggle with me.  You are sweet and very loving.  You love Mawmaw Brenda and Mawmaw Maxine.  You love to aggravate your brother.  You love me being your basketball and T-ball coach.  You love "juicies."  Chucky Cheese is your favorite place.  You are fearless except when it comes to sleeping in your room at night.  You say your girlfriend is Morgan.  You are fiesty.   You are stubborn.  You are protective of your family.  You love balls, any kind!! You love going to the movies, especially with Mama and Brother.  You love to go deer hunting with Daddy.  You beg to ride on the tractor with Daddy. You love to sing "Jesus loves me" as loud as you can.  Every night when you say your prayers, you always pray for Emma-Grace and ask God to tell her Hey for you.  You already ask lots of questions about Jesus and how you go to Heaven.  You are excited about being a big brother to Olivia Grace.  You want to go to China too.

I cherish everyday with my boy!!  You will always be my baby!! I love you this much (my arms and hands are spread as far as they'll go)!! 

Love,

Your Mama

Here are some pictures of your first birthday extravaganza (as your Daddy called it)

Here was your Pooh cake!! You loved Pooh!!

"Seriously, Mom!! Can I?"

"Maybe I will just touch it a little"

"Why have you been holding out on me? This is awesome!!"

"I'll just put my mouth on it a little"

"Heck, I think I will just dig in"

"I can be such a sweet booger"

I love you my sweet, stubborn, hardheaded, precious, amazing child!!!!

I Pad 2

I now have an IPAD 2.....I have had so much fun playing on it....now i kinda see how kids get hooked on playstation....but anyhoo....this is a test....i have downloaded certain APPS to see if I will be able to blog from China....I have thought about starting a blog on shutterfly...paying for a certain website to post blogs for me...but i love a good technological challenge....i think because i am technology challenged!!

 

There are ways to go around the China block of Blogger....I think...so were giving it a Try!!

 

 

Still no LOA!!! I am dying for it...but that's a whole 'nother story!!
