Sorry for the delay in updating my blog. We have been very busy lately rearranging the kids bedrooms then painting Spencer's ceiling and walls. Grayson and Austin now share a bedroom, Bobby will have the back bedroom and Spencer now has Austin's old bedroom. We just finished painting tonight.
The weekend before last my sister's daughter, Kate, came from Alabama to visit and help us get ready for Bobby. She and I shopped at a garage sale, thrift stores and of course, TJ Maxx. Among our finds was an old Red Ryder youth wheelbarrow, a Little Tykes tool set and box, some books, and a few items of clothing. She tirelessly helped move beds, mattresses and other furniture. It happened to be homecoming weekend here, so my boys were consumed with that and only helped a little. Spencer was at UT visiting her friend all weekend. Therefore, Kate's help was essential! She and I ate out at a local Thai and sushi place where I mistakenly ate the blob of wasabi thinking it was avocado. I'll only make that mistake once! (I hope)
We all went Friday to the Dept. of Homeland Security office to be fingerprinted. We were the first ones there and everyone got to miss a morning of school/work so that always makes for an enjoyable time. It has been a little weird having to go through that department, makes me feel like someone thinks I'm a little more important than I do. Now that we've done the fingerprinting, we are finished with all the paperwork for now. We just have to wait on word from Uganda granting custody. Then...I'll find out and let you know.
I'll post some pics tomorrow night. In the meantime, keep praying for us and the other families, the Doyles left yesterday for Uganda. Their blog link is on the right side of this blog.
Hello my friend, I have loved on Bobby like you would not believe!!!! He came up to me immediately the first time I went to the orphanage and said, "Do you know my mommy? You call her and and you tell her to come. I want her." Literally, got to tell him...:"I do know your mommy and she is coming as soon as she can. Bobby, she loves you very, very much!!!!" Each time I go back (which is a lot) he tells me..."My mommy is coming!" PRECIOUS PRECIOUS PRECIOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my word!! Thank you so much for that! I just now saw that someone had left me a message. Thank you for loving Bobby and telling him we love him. I can't wait to get there!
