I'm a bad blogger...

So much has happened recently and I haven't been blogging about it!
After a weird turn of events involving Chris' car being totalled (parked in front of our house) and an insurance check, we have been able to really move forward with the adoption process. A VERY generous family at our church GAVE us a car so that we could use the money to put towards our adoption. That same week we randomly received a DVD disc in the mail from a ministry that we have been involved with. It was an updated listing of waiting older children in Ethiopia. At first we weren't even going to view it because the children are connected to an agency other than the one we were planning to use. We thought it would be too much of a hassle to switch agencies and go through all that- but God had other plans. We watched it and have fallen in love. After A LOT of prayer, fasting and more prayer we know that we are supposed to switch agencies. God is in the details and we are trusting in Him. Coincidentally our home study was finished and approved that same week too! Things are really starting to move along. We are now filing our I-600A paper work (immigration stuff) and will wait to get fingerprinted for the FBI. All this involves some hefty fees - but the Lord has provided and we are excited!

So we have been sitting on some awesome news but are kind of waiting until we get more information. We will definitely keep you posted!

Conversations with kids: Part Tres

Looks like this might be a regular addition to the blog..... just can't help but spread the laughs!

G: When I grow up I am going to be a vet, an artist, a ballet dancer and a doctor.
Me: You can be anything you want....
G: I am also going to be a vegetarian.
Me: (trying not to laugh) Do you know what a vegetarian is?
G: Nope.
