This and That!

I am havinng camera withdraws...My daughter broke my digital camera and i cant take any pics of the cut Things Landen does .I hope to replace it very soon.
It is chilly here today so Hubby is servicing our furnace to get it ready to turn on.Our plumbing is fixed..My hubby has become quite the plumber and am i grateful.I was the first one in the shower last night lol.So now i have bedding washing and spending the day organizing.I even organized Es clothes.His dresser looked like something Exploded in it.So i took all the clothes we got for him out and organized them right.pjs in one drawer..Onsies ,socks in another shirts in another and pants in another and last outfits in another one.
How in the world does a person get everything they need for a baby in a siutcase?I was telling Michael that almost one suitcase is going to be full of Es clothes diapers toys and bottles and things.I am only taking about 3 small toys but have several outits for a week stay.He told me to let him pack it when time comes.He is quite the packer learning it from Military he ROLLS everything and he can get it to fit haha.
It is windy here today so Landen is not happy we made him play indoors today.Not because of wind because it is right down chilly and he freezes even with a jacket.I am sure E will be the same way to the cold.
Please pray for a dear friend of mine today her hubby is due to board the plane out of Liberia with their son.She needs hugs and reasurance everything will be fine and they will be home safe and sound.I am so so HAPPY for her and her family.This has been a long time comming for them bless their hearts.

PLUMBING ISSUES

Tonight i was doing a load of wash and heard a noise went to the luandry room to find...The floor FLOODED! IT also backed up into our shower..Michael is trying to figure it out he says he thinks there is hair is the shower drain that has caused this.The shower and washer share the Line going out.Sooo we will see what happens hpe this is resolved soon we will get cranky aroud here without a shower and clean clothes.
No news on the adoption end I pray i hear something soon.I have met some wonderful Mothers through adoption who have been so good to us...We recieved a box of babyclothes for E this week in the mail...I thought this was just wonderful considering this Mom just got home with her adorable daughter from India.She took the time with her busy schedule and all her little ones to send this box.She has been amazing to lean on and talk to .Ellen you are an amazing friend...I am so thrilled our lives have crossed paths as we share our joys and sorrows of adoption ups and downs.
I have made many friends and i love sharing the stories of the children and everday life of being parents.I am blessed with wonderful friends and family and being blessed to me a mothers which I LOVE THE MOST.

NAMES!

Michael and i want to give our little guy a new first name.We had agreed on Elijah and now he doesnt want Elijah.So we been tossing around a few names and still have not come to an agreement.I get frustrated because he picks wierd names for instance THOR.EWWW no way is he nameing our son Thor,Ford or Ace.The kids and i really like Jaxson Michael said he would name him JAXS but not Jaxson.Okkkk so we have a start but we want Jaxson and call him Jaxs for short .
Anyhoo i hope we can come to an agreement on a name for our little boy.We know his middle name will be his name now i will not change that at all.Names have always been a problem in our home and we never agree.It ends yp him nameing the babies.I want a say in this ones name.At least i was able to keep the weird names out of the picture.
I am praying we get out i171H soon and praying even more for a casestudy and court for our sweet little E.This angel needs to come home.

WUV U

HE SAID IT TONIGHT...first time Landen has ever looked right at me and said those words every momma loves to hear....WUV U. I said I love you too little man. Landen has really decided to talk more tonight we was reciting ABCS he cracked me up...he would say A,,,i would sayB and so on until we got to F it must of messed him up because i said F he said nana(no no).Thats as far as we got but heknows them all and says them when he wants too.
Today has been an Incredibly long day...I dont work Mondays so i got things done around home and watched some tv and worked on Es quilt a bit.
Rebecca started Basketball practice and she is so tired when she comes home .She does her homework eats her supper and heads to bed Early.Linda is almost done with Volleyball i dont think she is going to do basketball. The kids are so excited about E they talk about him allthe time and tell me they cant wait to get him home and love on him.Brian also has been getting excited and has even helped pick things out when we go shopping for items for E.I love these kids of mine...I am so blessed for each of my beautiful Miracles that we have in our lives.I love being a mom and i love being a wife.Life is good.

HOME FROM CAMPING

What a beautiful weekend it was so quiet at the lake and not to cold it was Perfect. my Brother and sister inlaw was there and had a karoeke wachine.Michael had a blast and sang up a storm.I had more fun setting bye the camp fire cuddling Landen and watching them all be silly.I didnt sleep to well i am having a hard time with my shoulder and neck.Physical therapy ended it is back to the doc to see if i can continue therapy or try something else.I am working on the camping Laundry although its never ending with all our children.
We will be leaving soon to our church.They are haviong their fall block party Landen loved it he wears his costume and they play games and paint pumpkins and have cake walks and eat a small lunch.It is fun and he likes to go.He dont like trick or treating but he like the block party.
I hope to hear goodnews on E s adoption in the upcomming weeks.I am sooo ready to get this boy home.

WHAT A WEEK

What a crazy week this has been....my on off button broke on my computer so i have not been able to blog or anything.I have had computer withdraws...My darling husband rigged it until we can get it in the shop on Monday...The computer repair shop is closed until then.
We got our fingerprints done at USCIS yesterday yeahhh! We were also told that emmanuels birth certificate and passport are done.We are waiting for his casestudy to be done now.I pray everything is speedy for his sake.I am so so ready for him to come home.
My pT for my shoulder has ended so now its back to my doc to see what he recomends next.We had an incident with our neighbor was not pretty and the sherrif was called .Now ya can say we are the worst people on earth.I really dont care what they think but they are making it hard on our children.
Other then that all is well here and i keep praying for more good news on the adoption front.
