We witness a miracle each time a child enters a life
But those who must make their journey home across time and miles,
Growing in the hearts of those waiting to love them,
Are carried on the wings of destiny
And placed among us by God's own hands.

Like a Bandit











It has been awhile since my last post for several reasons: 1. Nothing has happened on the adoption front and 2. I have been very busy redecorating. The person I believe to have benefitted the most so far from this pending adoption is my youngest daughter Jenna. She has made out like a bandit! By this I mean she has recently received an all new bedroom.

When Troy and I started this process we decided that the girls should maintain keeping separate bedrooms. We figured this would be the best way to continue to keep the peace. With Jenna being in the smallest bedroom we thought it only right that she be moved to a larger one and the baby be given her old room---the smaller one. For Christmas Jenna received a new comforter complete with curtains, pillows, and a lamp. Now of course, with that not matching the "new" room's colors at all, we had to get new carpeting along with a new coat of paint on the walls. Throw in a ceiling fan . . . and new wall decor . . . and a desk due to having more room . . .and a butterfly chair . . . and a really cool floor lamp . . well, I think you get my point---like a BANDIT!

The future babies room sits empty except for my scrapbooking table. I made a vow with myself that I would not touch the room until we get the much awaited referral. Don't want to jinx things, you know? Anyway I figure we will have plenty of time to redecorate that room between referral and actually bringing home our child.
