court: 2 weeks to go!

Please take your eyes to the ticker above.....2 weeks until our court appointment! We are getting very, very close!
This week 6 AWAA families got referrals! Here's the rundown: 2 infant girls, 2 infant boys, and 2 sibling groups. That's 8 children who now have families. forever.

If you would like to visit their blogs and enjoy the excitement, here are those I know about: Cordells, Kidds, Wests.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:4-5

We are thanking God and praising Him for the gift of Silas and the children in our AW families (they really do feel like family)! And He is GOOD and His love endures FOREVER. He is FAITHFUL ALWAYS and through the generations....through Silas' generation and beyond. Wow!

I told you I say "Wow!" a lot.

Other random happenings? We got our stroller in the mail yesterday. Can I just say it's awesome? The car seat was sent to my parents' house because it was too bulky. They mailed it here yesterday. Here's the stroller:
Besides, "Would you like to go out with me?", "Will you marry me?" and "When are we going to start our second adoption?", the sweetest thing I've ever heard Marshall say is, "You'll notice I made a purchase today (if I looked at our account)...I bought our boy some jeans. He really needs some jeans." Be still my heart! That he even cares about Silas' wardrobe touches me deeply. He came home with the last pair of 6 month Osh Kosh jeans in all of Germany for our son. (Maybe not all of Germany, but you get the drift.) I'm glad some poor, unsuspecting woman wasn't grabbing for them at the same time. Here they are with Sophie the Supermodel (please don't judge):
Hope you're having a great day! Thanks for checking in. Come on April 11!!!
