Some of the blessing that our friends gave us

We had such an awesome shower this past Saturday. Our dear friends gave us a wonderful shower that touched our hearts in ways that words cannot express. God has blessed us richly with godly friends and family who have walked this adoption journey with us and prayed and supported us in some of our most desperate times. It is because of our family and friends support and prayers that we were able to celebrate the miracle of God's blessing of Anna this past Saturday night.

We are waiting for our LOA (letter of approval). We are praying that this is the week that we receive that precious piece of paper. Once we have that we then wait for our TA (Travel approval) and with that we will finally have our dates of when we will travel to China. We are praying that we get to travel before Christmas. We would love to have her home before Christmas. But God's timing is perfect and I know without a shadow of a doubt that His hand has been guiding this adoption from the very beginning. So I know in God's timing we will hold our precious daughter....and everyday is one day closer to having her!!!!

So blessed

Well I am overwhelmed by the love of others. The ladies at my school gave me a baby shower today. My first baby shower. They blessed us abundantly. There were about 45 ladies there and my principal. And there were so many gifts. I couldn't believe all that they gave us. The ladies in 4th grade threw the shower and they made it perfect. They are wonderful ladies to work with and I am truly blessed. Mother and Daddy drove up last night to be there and that made it even more special. What a blessing. I included pictures of what we got.
