WE HAVE HIM!




Sorry i have not posted sooner!Its been busy with having our little guy with us.He is much tinier then we thought.He smiles all the time.He is so sweet.He has some feeding issues we need to address.He also is constipated and is miserable my poor baby.He loves a certain toy and smiles at it and tries to grab it.


We went to the Embassy today and was told to come back at 2pm.We came back and was told to come back Thursday tomorrow is a holiday.So we wait.I am missing my kids like crazy right now but am enjoying our little guy allot.We will go to the foster home tomorrow and so end some time there.Its hot here but not as bad as i had anticipated...Manageable we just drink lots of bottled water.It is a learning lesseo here lots of poverty but happy people who are so grateful for what they do have.Pray we get great news at embassy and have no problems getting a visa.Then we need to get a travel letter.

WE MADE IT!

We arrived last night the airport here was so overwhelming.Of course everything is overwhelming to me.Michael and I did get some sleep.I am excited about meeting our son today.Before the day is over we need to go to grocery store and get bottled water and find more items for little one to eat.I can tell you we were not impressed with brussels airport.The flights here were all on time so that was a little better.not much to say at the moment i am excited about meeting our little boy here.

Today is our last day home.We leave tomorrow morning for the airport.I am so excited but yet a bit overwhelmed.I have been doing last minute things on the computer and typing up letters giving my cousin full reign of our children while we are gone.
My husband cant set still its kind of cute lol.I have to go to the bank to get the letters i typed Notarized.Its so nice here today and the bank is like a block and half from our home i think we will walk.I will be spending some quality time with my babies tonight and saying our goodbyes to them.Oh this is so hard i have never left my kids more then 2 days.
I am so ready though to hold my sweet little boy Forever.He is so loved His sisters are so excited to meet him.They are bouncing off the walls lol.They both told me..Mom we will miss you but we know you and Dad are bringing OUR baby home so that makes it OK in the eyes of the kids ha ha.My kids amaze me in so many ways.

SHOPPING!

Michael and I went to walmart today to get medicine,groceries and a few other items.The girls did not have school and Landen was not feeling well so he stayed home.We get to walmart and are walking through the baby isle.I needed to get a head neck thing for Jaxson's car seat.I also wanted to get a boppy pillow.I picked them up and put them in the cart.I heard this little voice say...PLEASE rubber ducky Please.Landen loves rubber duckies There was a green one he has a yellow one.It was so cute he plucked it off the shelf holding this rubber ducky like it was a real treasure to him.I could not resist and bought him that rubber ducky.
Tonight during bath time he had his new green duck and his yellow duck in the tub with him.He was singing sesame street Ernie's rubber ducky song...It goes like this..Rubber ducky your the one you make bath time so much fun.Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you quack quack quack quack.Landen cracked me up.I am so going to miss him while we are gone.I am going to miss all my kids so much.
Our luggage is all packed now...I have our file of paperwork almost ready!I need to make a stop at bank to get some copies and draw our monies and get some things notarized and we are set to go.I am spending Friday cleaning house and spending our last evening at home with my kiddos.

I LOVE THIS!


A very dear friend of mine does the coolest things with photos .I have to tell you my friend My husband Michael LOVED it!He is a big time fisherman and said he finally got his fishing buddy lol.

My cousin Ruby is coming Friday night and staying the night.My aunt Sandy is driving my car to the airport to drop us off.We have Internet access at the hotel and its now available in the rooms.We are taking our laptop so i am hoping to update this blog while we are there.I am so excited in ONE week from today we will be holding our son in our arms.I am so happy that my husband and I are both able to make this journey to our son.
Ruby will be staying with my children here in our home until we return.This will be much easier on Landen not having to leave his surroundings.I am going to miss my kids so so much.Pray my Landen does OK while we are gone.He is a serious Mama,s boy.
