LOTS TO DO!
Today is a busy one.I am making candy and baking cookies all day.I need to get a few presents wrapped and some cleaning done as we are hosting Christmas this year.I have my cookie dough made and it is chilling in the fridge.I love Christmas time but the work and wow its hurry hurry buy presents,wrap presents,Bake cookies,make candy,and its over in no time.
Tonight we are having a small party and exchanging gifts with my cousin and best friend Ruby her husband Jeff and her two kids.tomorrow we will more then likely finish up our baking and cleaning go to church in the evening.Come back have hot chocolate and cookie read a Christmas book and tuck kids in for bed so Santa can come.
Landen is such a joy this time of year.Being the smallest in the house right now and loving Christmas music like he does and the lights.He don't care about the gifts.Give him wrapping paper and boxes and he is one happy kid.He has been singing frosty the snowman all morning and now its stuck in my head.This kid cracks me up.I so love his innocence.
I had non stop ringing in my ears for a couple of days and just felt awful yesterday.I took a nap and then got a good nights sleep woke up to NO ringing in my ears.I now know it was pure exhaustion.I feel so much better and happy for that with my to do List a mile long.
Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas.

GETTING CLOSER!
I am pretty Positive we will be holding our son in January.I am excited but also scared as things have not went a bit smooth at all and i worry about more bumps in the road.But right now we are treading forward and hope to hear we may travel in January(Pretty positive of this).I am going to get through Christmas and New years and then begin the preparing for Jaxson.I will repack our bags and make sure we have everything we need.rewash his crib bedding so it is fresh and ready for him to come home.Make sure all bills are paid early for the Month of January have car seat installed at the sheriffs office and anything else i can think of.I am getting excited to know our long wait is close to an end in sight and our son will be with his forever family soon.
I have allot going on in the New year so it should make the time pass quickly until we get that email saying we can go to Liberia.I am so so ready to hold my sweet boy in my arms and never let him go.wow to think we are so close.The excitement is starting to mound..The kids are scared that it wont happen and are staying guarded..I cant say i don't blame them One bit.
My husband and i... is a different story we talk about what needs to be done when we go and what it will be like when we first meet our son.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY LITTLE BOY!I love you so much.I promise this will be our last Christmas we celebrate not being together.Mommy will be thinking allot about you on Christmas day.We will have many more Christmases in the future together with all your brothers and sisters and mommy and daddy.Your many aunts ,uncles,cousins and your Grandparents who cant wait to meet you.
SOME RELIEF!
The embassy has replied to my email.It was not as bad as i thought.He needed a couple documents from our agency and they are being gathered now.Then there is the orphan investigation?I don't know much about this at all.I did ask him how long that will take and am waiting to hear back.I hope it is not to long.Over all this sounds much better then what i anticipated.I am praying we leave in January sometime.
I did cringe when i seen it in my email..closed my eyes and clicked.It was not as bad as i thought and all the sleep i lost over the weekend stressing about it all.I do have to say i feel bad for the other parents going through this.The files are a mess and there was another child's mixed in with ours.I have let agency know so they can make this aware to other families who may have some unexpected twist with the Embassy.documents are missing too hence having to call and get the 2 the Embassy needed.
Lots of prayer we travel in January! I am excited no matter what we are a step closer to our son.

NERVOUS
I am a ball of nerves waiting for a reply this comming week from the consular.I just am afraid to see what we have in store next.So i am up and cant sleep.I should be wrapping presents as my older kids are coming tomorrow to have Christmas.I still have 2 that need wrapped before they get here.
I emailed asking him what the next step is as that is what he wanted us to do.Michael and I both shared our concerns.We both agreed if we get the OK no matter what day it is we are going to get him.We even said we would be on a plane Christmas day if we could.I am scared and nervous both.Why is the embassy making this adoption so difficult?This should be happy time awaiting our child's arrival.
Ughhh i probably will get no sleep as i am a worry wart.It is 12 : 30 am and i am wide awake and trying not to think about it.I am awaiting this email back in anticipation.Every time i got one from senators office i cringed closed my eyes before i clicked to open it.I know i will do the same when i get a response back from the consular.
My little boy does not even know we exist.I am so ready to hold him and start the bonding process and let him know he is loved and has a family that wants him so much.
