Birthday party pictures from this weekend are coming...and some news

I just wanted to update everyone that I have not fallen off the face of the earth! We are still here enjoying life and just busy. We had a fabulous birthday party weekend and I will be sharing pictures in 2 days. I am finishing up some other things that are taking up my time right now. In addition, I will have some good news to share...

To make it short and sweet and to not make you go crazy wondering. It is a possible new addition to our family if we say yes!
So far everything we were told all last week leans towards a yes from us. We have been in prayer and my family is praying and we will see how things go on tomorrow.

While we were preparing and family planning on our own now since our sweet little one has been in our home over a year, we were getting ready to move forward with our own family planning.
We received a call last week about a newborn sibling of my son and we are first priority of course. The baby was born a few days before my son's birthday.
The agency wanted to know if we were interested adopting the baby and we said yes, but we wanted to review everything and go over the paperwork.
We are meeting on tomorrow to see the baby and have a family team meeting.

I will up date you all on tomorrow night. All I can say is Wow!

WOW!!! That's awesome! I always wonder if we'll ever get that same call...and how could we ever say no!?! Keep us all posted, I'm praying!

Thanks Kelly! This was totally unexpected and I never thought this could or would happen in a million years. It just never crossed our minds. Accepting another child from the agency crossed our minds for later, however, not a sibling, and new born at that.
We only told a couple of people in our immediate circle, so we are praying and we will see what happens. I will be sure to post an update on tomorrow evening.

Alisa! Where have you been? I miss you!
We must catch up! Yes, he is keeping me very busy!

Thanks Angela!
Congratulations are not in store yet. We are still thinking and praying, but all is well. Everything went very well and we meet again in about 3 weeks.
The baby is just fine and I had an opportunity to hold her. I always wanted three kids but I didn't realize my blessings would be very close together. I think that we are more so in shock than anything else.
