Secret donatations

I want to thank all of you that have donated to help us with the costs involved with adopting a child.  There are a few people that have generously donated anonomously and I wanted to say that I am SO VERY grateful!  About $350 have been donated "secretly" and it brings tears to my eyes when I think about how generous everyone has been!  God has certainly answered our prayers and we are feeling so blessed!  So thank you very much for helping to change our lives!

Our future child....

We are thinking and praying for our future child (and their birthmother) constantly!  I dream about the day when I will finally be able to hold him/her in my arms!  There isn't a day that passes that I am not thinking about the sweet child that will undoubtedly change our lives forever!  Especially with November approaching (my due date was November 11th), I think about how excited I was for the holidays this year and can't wait to experience that with the child that is meant to be ours - it may not happen this year but hopefully one day, our home will be filled with the pitter-patter of little feet on holidays (and everyday)!!!

I can't wait to go apple picking, to bake Christmas cookies, to go camping, to cuddle on the couch reading a book, to take long walks in the park, to attend sporting events, to take family vacations, to go sled riding, to go swimming, to go to the beach, to have picnics in the park, and to do the many many many other things that Ed and I love to do as a family!
