Time will soon change

I am sitting here on my couch this Thursday evening, all the candles are lit and a warm sweet aroma is filling the air. My two puppies are playing next to me and my oldest children are in the living room playing videos together. My husband is laying on the floor watching baseball. I am trying to imagine my two youngest children being here and how it will change the dynamics of our evenings home. I am sure that they will be cuddling next to us and chattering about their day. I know that the peace and quiet I know now will soon be changing. I am absorbing it all in and enjoying the quiet time while I still have it... Soon, very soon we will once again be doing homework, getting baths and running to sporting events, dance class and whatever else in our evenings instead of resting...Oh God give me the strength to keep up with these little ones!

Well, I think I need to change the name of my blog to prince and princess. We have decided to adopt a boy as well as girl. TWO!! TWO!! This means I will be a mother of four...FOUR!! If you would have asked my a few years back if I thought this would be happening I would have said No very quickly! However, I cannot seem to wipe the smile off of my face today!! God is amazing. I still love and miss our princessa that visited us this summer and there will always be a special place in my heart for her. If I recieved a call today asking if we wanted to adopt her I would do it in a heartbeat!! But God was a just God and filled our hearts with love for other children and I am just blown away with the love I already feel for them. We should travel around the end of November. I am just ready to see thier sweet faces!! The little boy was here this summer as well and we had the pleasure of meeting him and spending time with him as he swam in our pool. We have only seen pics of the little girl!! Until next blog time, have a blessed day!!

Finally, some news!! We have our submission date for our dossier. It is on Wednesday, November 4, 2009. After they sumbit the paperwork, we then will recieve a SDA appointment date and we will be off to see our children!! So for now, we wait yet again but it will all be worth it in the end. GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is a great day! We recieved our approval to adopt an orphan today. This letter will be sent to Ukraine this week to be added to our paperwork. Now we wait to find out when our submission date will be and we will be on our way!!

Just waiting on a submission date for our dossier from SDA!!

I am very happy to announce that our dossier is now in Ukraine in the hands of Jenya!! It will now be translated and then I should get my submission date. Still have no leads on our daughters. We are just going about our daily routine and trusting God to find them. I need to remember to keep my thoughts on Jesus always!! To not get caught up in all the other things in this world. I went to a great christian concert last night with my husband and some dear friends! It was very uplifting and put my whole adoption plight in a whole new light.
