What's the Hold up?

Everyone keeps asking me what the hold up is and why we can't leave now to go get Jay-R. We are waiting for his legal paperwork. We need that before we can get the visa squared away and then we will have a travel date. We are hoping he can spend Christmas with us!

While we wait, we are keeping busy with soccer games, getting his room ready, finishing the painting on our house, and the routine things of life. Our house finally got finished from the hail storm last year. Both our roof and siding were damaged so we resided our home and reroofed it. We love the new colors-cactus (a greenish gray & cranberry)! It used to be this faded yellow that we hated with green door, awning, shutters. We've been doing the green thing since we were married so we're kind of sick of green. But, we've created a lot of work for ourselves with all the painting to do due to the color change. Oh, well!

So much to do!

Well, it's been 4 days since we found out about Jay-R. We've been on the phone spreading our exciting news, milling over paperwork we must fill out (those gov. forms are so confusing!), and making lists of the many things that need done. I have a list for home and a list for work. Since I am the Activity Director, I have a lot of things I need to get done ahead of time before my leave. I plan to take up to 3 months off work. Can't wait to hug that cute little boy! We received the color pictures yesterday. He is so cute!!!!! Last night, we looked at boy comforter sets. Can't wait to start decorating. If anyone has any ideas for a boy's bedroom, share. Til, then, we keep waiting!

We have a son!!!!

We received a referral today for a son!!!! He's four and his name is Jay-R. We'll post more as we find out more. We can't post his picture but we'll be more than happy to show it to you when we see you. We should be getting his picture tomorrow!!! Thanks for your prayers and keep praying...we have a few months before we can go get him!!!
