toddlers?????

OK so have you ever just realized that you have no idea what you are doing! I was walking around Babies "R" Us looking at things that we might or will need and I realized....hmmm.....what does a 15-18 month old need!?!?!?! Well the sales associated told me all about the car seats, then set me up to watch a movie about the safety1st baby equipment which she watched with me lol, it was helpful but a little awkward. (I should really learn to say no).  Anyway I recommend Babies R Us to everyone, they are so friendly and helpful!
I still have no idea what I am doing but I guess this is how every new mother feels. I did find the car seat that we want anyway.....now what, we have all of our baby furniture. But no clothes because we don't actually know what size we need, I know which stroller I want, but that's about it. Any suggestions for what a toddler needs?

Josh is doing great at BOLC (basic officer leadership course) he is staying very very very busy and running a lot! Wont get to talk to him until Sunday =(  that is a first for us, we always talk everyday.....1 more month and I get to see him for the weekend!!!!!! So excited! Hopefully by then we will have a court date too!

I think I am the only person in the world who is excited that summer is going by so quickly but I have 2 good reasons  for that.

Psalms 68:5-6 “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling, God sets the lonely in families . . .”

Dossier has Arrived

The Dossier has arrived in Ethiopia! It has been a long wait but its getting closer now we just get to wait some more :)
Josh has been in MO for 1 week, I have managed to stay pretty busy so far. I am going to Charlotte, NC Wed. to get my finger prints done for our I600a which is the petition to make an orphan part of your family. I have to go to the US Citizen and Immigration Service and apparently the closest one is in NC.
The Isaiah's room is almost finished, I need to do a few more things and then it will be completely done. We are going to have a shower but I would like to wait until we know more about his sizes before we pick a date.

Paperwork on the move

After weeks of waiting our Dossier is finally on its way to Ethiopia. Now we get to wait on the court date.....waiting is soooo hard! We are so ready to have Isaiah home so we can spoil him :) Hopefully we will find out when our court date is soon so at least we can have a date to look forward to!
We had a great church service tonight, our Wednesday night program is growing! Josh had 5 youth and I had 6 kids from 1st-3rd grade! I am so excited to see our children's program grow, they are such a blessing! God is so Good!! We are so blessed to have 2 great church families, one here in TN and one in KY.
Josh is leaving Saturday morning for Missouri. It is bitter sweet because he needs this school to better his career and it is a great accomplishment for him but he is going to be missed for 4 months and will probably miss out on getting to meet our son with me......but God has a plan and everything will turn out fine. Everything works to the good for those who love the Lord!
Please keep us in your prayers these next few months, we will need it.
