No News

No News yet on the adoption end.I am praying for I171H to come soon.Its been almost 4 weeks so i am praying soon.Still waiting to hear on Liberias end.I am aching to hold my baby i am going nuts here.I really need to gain more patience with this.
Knowing Es special needs he really needs to come home and get his therapy going.I am so in love with this child.Not a day goes by that we dont talk about him and how much we want him to be in our family and all the love the kids and mommy and daddy have for him.We look at his pics and say how cute he is and how wonderful he looks.
I get tired of people asking when is he comming home?When do you get to leave to go get him?I tell them when i know i will let you know. Its so hard for people to understand International adoptions do NOT have a set time. The wait can be excrutiating(which it is).But in the end so so worth it to finally hold that child you come to love through pics and videos.To watch them grow and smile.It all worth the agony of the wait.I just pray its not to long of a wait.I WANT MY LITTLE MAN.

WEEKEND

Our weekend was relaxed a bit.Saturday we stayed home and made dinner and a birthday cake for my oldest son who turned 20 yrs old.I cant believe how fast my kids are growing up.William my 20 yr old lives on his own.He is struggling right now and i feel so bad for him.He went to school to be a security Gaurd and now he is done he cant find work.All the places here want them to be 21 yrs old.So my son is desperate to find work and even trying to get a job at mcdonalds.I hope he finds something soon his rent is comming due.
Rebecca was invited to a birthday party yesterday evening and had a great times.She stayed for like 4 hrs.She had so much fun last night.Today was the VFW Holloween party for children 10 and under.Michael and I took Landen.Landen kept saying I go to a party.He was tickled and had a nice time.They all got a spider that is handcrafted with Pipe cleaners and pompoms he LOVED IT.I would pull the string and make the spider move and Landen just laughed and Laughed it was so much fun watching him have such a good time.
When we got back i decided to get some much needed things done around the house.I started with shampooing the living room carpet it looks so much better now.Then decided its time to tackle Landens dresser and tote that still has some winter clothes from Last year.He took a major GROWTH spurt since last winter he wore 4 T and now is a size 6 boys.So almost all of what is in the tote wont fit.I am glad i went to the second hand store and found him some nice shirts and Pants.We really didnt do much this weekend actually most weekend we are home now.When its cold we dont like getting out and it was that today.Yesterday was Nice and Landen played outside quite a bit of the day.

THINKING ABOUT OUR ANGEL!

Today is one of those days that i just think about my Angel all day and dream of the day i will hold him in my arms.This little boy does not know he has a mommy and daddy and 6 siblings that are witing for him to come home.
I walk by his crib in my room and dream of seeing him laying in their and playing with him.I wonder if he gets enough to eat or he cries or he is happy or sad.So many things run through my head.I pray for his health and he stays healthy.Linda and I was at walmart... and she seen this toy in the baby section.Its an alligator you pusg his foot and he giggle.Linda just had to get it.She said please mom buy this for baby E.Of course i just had to buy it because its so cute and because a very special little boy will be recieving it.
I say a prayer for him everynight.I am already so in love with this child who is all the way across the other side of the world.People ask me all the time when is he comming home?Its so hard to explain that International adoption is not easy ya cant snap ya fingers and your baby is home.My parents is one.Knowing we went through 2 international adoptions you would think they understand the wait times. I love you my Angel...Mommy cant wait to meet you until then hugs and kisses my sweet boy.
