They're thinking about it too. . .
So now that we are officially in the "waiting stage" of adoption it's sometimes difficult to know what to do, because really there is nothing to "do". Lately the kids have bringing up our baby a lot lately. Jonah was telling us about how there are really 5 people in our family and Aaron says really who is that?( You never quite know who he's going to add in there, Zach the neighbor kid, our gecko, etc). He named each or us and then said our baby. Last week one night he prayed, "Jesus can our baby please be a boy?" "I've never had a brother before." And just today we saw an airplane in the sky and Lydia saw it first ( which is totally bragging rights). I said "good eye Lydia, where do you think it's going?" Without hesitation, she said, "to adopt a baby." It warms my heart and answers my prayers to see God is preparing them for this new baby to be added to our family.

Isn't it fun to have the whole family excited and involved in what God is doing? This is something that they'll remember for the rest of their lives! What cool lessons they are learning about waiting on God and his surprise blessings! :)
How wonderful. Sometimes I think kids "get it" before adults...we have so many more hangups and our status quo is firmly fixed.
Kids just trust their mom and dad.
Hey, just me from the "south" checking in. wintry here today but snow is going away hopefully for good. As for the book...I've been thinking TONS but don't know yet where to begin or what type of book. Thanks for the encouragement:) You're the best...and Lydie...God bless her she is so sweet! How did she know someone was going to adopt a baby on that plane? Misty
