Things have absolutely been FLYING! Less than a week after we mailed our profile and registration papers to Link, a birthmother was looking at our profile! She didn’t pick us, but it’s all right. There were some things about her situation we weren’t so sure we were comfortable with. Now we’re just waiting for our adoption situation to arrive…
Our nursery looks great! The ark is painted on the wall, along with the rainbow and a pair of giraffes. I’ve penciled in some rhinos and a pair of parrots, but have yet to paint them. I’m taking digital pictures every step of the way, so when I have a couple more of the Ark, I’ll put up a nursery page with pictures of everything.
We were also able to get the carseat that goes with our stroller…I’m glad, because they actually can be used together, and we had the adaptor parts and everything! Then, as if that weren’t enough, we got a crib and changer set off ebay, for a great price! Then I was at Wal-Mart yesterday, and saw the exact same crib…:O)
So when I think about it, I think we have all the big things we need for the nursery, unless I’m forgetting something.
I did have to laugh though. One of Stephen’s 5th graders asked prayer for “Miss Melody, so she won’t go wacko waiting for the baby to come.” Hmmm….wonder where she picked that up? That is hilarious! Then just today Stephen came home with a picture and a letter that Sara had drawn. The letter says,
Dear Mrs. Melody.

Please do not go wako while you are waiting. Because we need a Sunday School song teacher and she dose not need to be wako.

Smile.

Sara

Sunday at church, she brought me a picture that she had drawn. It had Stephen and I, and a blue colored baby in a pink bassinet. Definitely a sweet girl.

I think I’m going to go nuts! Our homestudy is 4 days away…
We have all the paperwork done now, and the Picture Pages are done and copied and ready to go to Link. All we lack (as far as I can tell) is Preacher’s signature on our statement of faith. But that’s for Link, so we don’t have to have it for the homestudy.
I was going over some memory verses this morning, and I came across these promises. What a blessing!
Psalm 115:11-15, 18
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
