Just a quick update. We are waiting for the phone to ring with news that our birth mother is in labor. We are told that it could be any day now. We are all a bundle of nerves and excitement. Mason is walking around with a huge smile on his sweet face. He has been praying for his baby sister for months. It amazes me that our six year old has the capacity to love Ellison so intensely....even though he has never met her. I will try to update my blog when we for the big call. We are taking a lap top so we will be able to share pictures while we are in Nevada.

That's right! We have been matched!! Our sweet baby girl is due on February 12 but will probably deliver any day now. We have worked really hard on fundraisers over the last few months but we are still short on funds. If you have ever considered donating to our adoption, now would be the perfect time!

Not that I am counting the days or anything but we are just about to the six month mark in our adoption journey. We prayed for a Christmas baby but that was not God's will for our family. When the clock stuck 12:00am on December 31, I thought, "This is our year!" This is the year that our family will grow. I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it.
Thank you for your continued prayers!

Nothing to report on our journey to adoption. Still working on several fundraisers. In December, we have a golf tournament on the 19th and we are working the concession stand for a Toys For Tots softball tournament.
Every day, I am amazed at God's perfect timing for everything in our lives. It's very obvious that He knows exactly what He is doing! :)
Last Sunday night at choir practice, I did the devotion. I have never done it before and tend to be afraid of speaking in front of people. For weeks, when asked if I wanted to do the devotion, I relied with a very firm, "No." Well, God had others plans and little did I know but He was preparing my heart to share on faith. I really don't remember what I said. I think the Holy Spirit just took over and spoke through me. Now I am ready to go it again!

This morning on the way to school, Mason was talking about how excited he will be when we have to get on a plane to pick up Ellison and that he wants to feed her her first bottle. Then he asked, "Mom, why do I get water in my eyes every time I think about Ellison?" I told him that the "water" was just his love for Ellison spilling over. God has given me the most precious boy to call my son! Now....I have water in my eyes.....Do you?
