We are having an exciting June! With birthdays out the waazoo, VBS, and Swim Lessons we have been busy! HOWEVER, we have been busy in other ways too. Our Home Study with Aggieland Adoption Agency was finished last week and now we just have to turn in our lifebook! It means that very soon, we will have a book out for birth-moms to look at. We are so excited! It is a great summer! We have no idea how long the journey will be from here... it could be 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years before we are chosen. Now we will have to wait and TRUST that our God is Faithful and in control of everything. I am specifically praying that we will be excited through the whole process - no matter how long it takes. I hope we can remember He is sovereign and that His timing is perfect. I don't want the enemy to steal anything from us in this time. I want to have my strength renewed in the wait. The Word talks about being strengthened in times of waiting. That is what I want for our family. So, if you are praying for us, please pray that we will be faithful in prayer for our birth-mom and for our baby. It is so exciting to even imagine! I can't wait to see what the Lord does as far as distance between Jude and our new baby.
Jake and Ken are gearing up for a father-son trip to Colorado this year. Just the two of them. It will be so great! I am gearing up for a summer at the pool. It is so hot already and we are loving the pool - Jude included. He does great in the water, and sleeping in his stroller. Jake is turning 11, Maddy is turning 8, and in just a few days, Jared will be 6 years old. Jude is already 6 months... time is just flying. I can't wait to see what happens in the next year. I am sure it will be an exciting year indeed! Hopefully I will post again before December- ha!
