Mother's Day

As we ran around Hunter Park this afternoon, I found myself smiling and thinking about what it will be like next year when we're chasing two little boys around. I CAN'T WAIT. Seriously...I CAN'T WAIT. I had a great Mother's Day today, but couldn't help missing my little man Drew. While Ian kept me busy and occupied all day, my thoughts often drifted to a sweet baby in Vietnam. Looking at his picture was great, but having him in my arms would have been so much better.

Today at church Deron reminded us at the beginning of his sermon that "God does listen and that He cares for us." Through this process, I've felt alone at times. But I know that the Father is there...loving me through it all. He's teaching me something....I must be pretty dense because this lesson has gone on FOREVER. By the way....in case I haven't said it...We have THE best Pastor in the world.

I'm a blessed mommy. My sweet Ian gave me lots of hugs and kisses today, and soon I'll have another sweet boy in my arms.

Soon Baby Drew....Soon!!

We're praying for you daily! My verse right now: "He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it!" Hang on tight to the truth & soon we'll be hangin' on to our sweet boys! :)

Hang in there! I know that baby will be home soon. We met you when you brought Ian to "show and tell" for the pre-adoption workshop for Dillon. We are waiting on a little one to come home from South Korea! Can't wait to hear your good news!

I'm still praying for you. The wait you've had to endure has been much too long. Things have just got to start happening soon!

I just logged off the Dillon forum, and I have goosebumps at the thought that you may miss India camp because you're meeting your sweet baby! It won't be long now . . . A belated Happy Mother's Day to you.
