Waiting..........

is such a hard thing to do. I am not so good at it either. You would think that with two previous adoptions behind me that I would learn to be a little more patient when it comes to waiting for a travel date. But with Liam’s adoption, I find myself worrying too. “Liam is older, and he has waited long enough,” I tell God, “I don’t know where he has been transferred. What if he is scared and hungry?” 
I do know that it will happen in God’s perfect timing and I hold onto my faith that God will take care of Liam until I can get to him. But it is still hard to wait.


So this is what we have been doing lately,……
The boys have started back to school and I have gone back to teaching after a much needed and relaxing summer break.

Caleb is now in third grade and was so super excited to go back to school. He is anxiously awaiting his 9th birthday in October. He keeps telling everyone that it’s his turn and his birthday is next.  I just can’t believe how big he has grown and how smart he is! I am so proud of him. I can’t thank God enough for choosing me to be his Mommy!

Elijah is now 5 and is in his last year of the Early Childhood special education program. Next year, it's Kindergarten baby! He knows all of his letters and is quite the artist. He is constantly drawing with his magnadoodle.  He is very independent and dresses himself with just a little help from Mama. And he has grown a couple inches, but he is still Mommy’s little peanut.

Jimmy has begun a new year in the Young Adult program. He works out and swims each morning at the Recreation center before taking the bus to his job at Benito’s pizza. He bowls every Wednesday after school too. He is just as social as ever and just a little while ago took off to spend the night with a friend! And he LOVES Trigger. He has claimed him as his puppy, which I think is pretty awesome:)

Elijah after school. Please don't mind the messy shirt. I'm sure he was doing something messy and extremely FUN at school.

Giggling with Caleb.

Please pray with us for a travel date soon. I can't wait to hold Liam in my arms and tell him that HIS MAMA is finally here!:)
