FINGERPRINTS

Being our third and LAST adoption we have never had our fingerprints expire with our other 2 adoptions.I had no clue what to do.Our fingerprints expired as of today.But i know what i need to do to get our fingerprints redone with USCIS.I hope they move quickly on this with us leaving soon for Jaxson.
I just found out what we need and guess what?It's a whole 4 degrees here to cold to walk to post office.Cars are snowed in ughhhh.so i have no choice but to wait until Monday to get document mailed to USCIS.
Please pray this goes quickly... I don't want nothing keeping us delayed from Our son... I think we have had plenty of those the past year.I cannot wait to get that much waited on Email...I am ready to go get our Little boy.

FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD

All of you in the adoption throws know what i am speaking of.A very dear friend of mine is adopting a very Special needs baby boy.He is so precious i just want to scoop him up and give him kisses.She is doing back to back adoptions.I know the strains Financially this can bring.This family is working so hard to raise what they need to get this little guy home.She has some awesome fundraisers going on...I have ordered 2 of the coolest t shirts from one of her fundraisers.If you would like to see what she has going here is the Link to her blog.http://www.tillgodbringsthemhome.blogspot.com check it out...
She has another blog too which i have the button on my blog for but will put it here too...http://jeremiahspromisejohn1418.blogspot.com
There is also a sponsorship page at reecesrainbow.com Jeremiah sisemore.Just 5 dollars can help them so much.This is the true love for a child.We all know how this goes..This little guy needs to come home to the arms of his family and receive the medical care he so deserves.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I am so excited!Michael and I have been pinching pennies as we are short travel money .Today we received a check from a debt we had paid and it is the overpayment.It is a BIG check.GOD IS SO AWESOME.I prayed to him and put all my weight onto his shoulders and he came through.
I am so happy Our life is good we are healthy and happy and have made a resolution to ourselves this year to give more of ourselves to God.We have lacked in this area and we are going to Improve this.
Jaxson Baby Hang in there Mama is coming very soon little man!

NO WORD!

I have emailed the agency asking a important question with no reply yet.I know Jax is coming home but wow these days seem to tick by before we hear anything.I am not patient at all and it is getting more extreme as the time draws near that we will go.I am so excited about meeting Him holding him and Loving him.
I know it will be mid to end of January before we hear something but sheesh can it hurry up already.I am so excited but also scared because ya never know what could happen next.I have loved this little boy from the first time i seen him and it grows stronger with each passing day.
I pray for news everyday.I know its close and i am so ready to go.Please pray in the next few weeks we can gather the rest of our travel money together and pray we get good news soon.

NO WATER !

I have no water at all now.The bathroom and laundry room pipes are now froze.We have bottled water to drink and i have jugs my cousin said i could fill up at her house for cooking and dishes.I am so upset..I really dont think all the winterising we did to the pipes in the new addition at this point will not make a difference because it is just so bitter cold outside.I mean sheesh was like -16 last night.One night this week is suppose to be even coldre then that.
Please pray our pipes do not break...This would NOT be good considering most pipes in both baths and Laundry room are in the walls.I have to call after 6 pm to see if i have Jury duty tomorrow or not.I am praying we dont as i need to focus on gettting our pipes Unthawed.

MUCH NEEDED THINGS DONE AND SO NOT GOOD THINGS!

I am happy to say I finally got the tree down and the decorations put away today.The decorations outside are still there.It is way way to cold to get to them until we get some better days that aren't in the singles digits.Some of them are cove rd in snow and we will have to dig them out.
Landen and Rebecca are both ready to go back to school.They are suppose to start back tomorrow but we are not sure they will get to because we got 2 inches more of snow and the country roads are not so great.We are waiting to hear if they have school or not.
My water is Froze up in my kitchen.I was upset about it because i left my faucets streaming a bit so they would not freeze.One of my children go to get a drink and forget and turn it off.Come morning i have no water at all in my kitchen.I cannot wait for the remodel and we can fix this problem with the pipes in their once and for all.
So i am hauling water from the bathtub faucet to do dishes and cook with.It is a Royal pain in the butt.I am hoping we do not end up with Broken pipes...That is my worst fear.I don't mind snow at all but i do not like these freezing cold temperatures at all.Hoping for a warm up soon.

SHOPPING!

Today the girls and I and husband and little Landen went to St.Joe mo .Michael needed to go to sign papers at the ford dealers to finish up on our car we bought.The girls got 100.00 gift cards for Christmas to clothing stores and so we took them shopping.Rebeccas store was in the mall so we went their first.She had a blast buying new things.Michael went to sears and spent his gift card he got a brand new watch.
After Rebecca paid for her things we headed out and of course i had to stop at bath and body and buy my favorite perfume.Hubby was being ornery and said ok who was holding mama's hand and let go that she slipped into that store lol.I left very happy with my Japenese cherry blossom perfume.
Michael and little Landen were hungry so we went to Ihop for lunch.It was good.We were cold and tired from all the walking around and walking in the cold to get to the car.We had a late lunch and loaded up to head to Linda's store the fashion bug (also mama's favorite store).Linda did good and got some really cute clothes.I hit a clearance rack my favorite thing to do and got 2 nice winter tops and one to wear in spring/summer.I am limited on winter clothes so i was happy for the two tops i got.
Both my girls did very well and neither one went over budget.I was Proud of them.Rebecca had 2.00 left on her card and Linda had 18.00 left on hers.We had a nice time but decided next time Dad and little brother will stay home .Not a guy thing to go shopping .
