BOOOOO!

Just found out today that our court date probably won't be until December and bringing her home in January/Februaury is looking more like reality. I'm sad, but it's something I'll get over. I have to have faith that everything is going to work out as it should. All in "God's Perfect Timing" right? Our lil' peanut is safe and is getting great care from the nannies, that's what I need to remind myself of!
Thank you all for your continued thoughts, prayers and.... T SHIRT ORDERS!!! I am stoked about them, I guess this gives us more time to save save save doesnt it???? I have faith this will be "OK"!!!

Wahoooo!!!!!

WOW!!! What an exciting way to kick off the weekend! We got a call yesterday from our agency at about 10:30 am with the referral of a beautiful, itty bitty baby girl!!! We are not sure on the exact age of her right now-we're thinkin somewhere around 5-7 weeks old. She's about 6lbs and 18" long-and tons and tons of dark curly hair!! Please continue to pray for us that all falls into place as it should, her healthy while in the care of the nannies and for the country of Ethiopia!!! We are on cloud nine!!

This week?!

So I know there hasn't been much discussion on here as of late about Baby Sisters adoption-I guess it's because I have been thinking all along that we probably won't hear much of anything until early Fall. Well, that may be the case still, however I got an email from our director last week saying that maybe just maybe this week we might get word on who our daughter is going to be!!! It's been a lot of mixed emotions through this whole process the 2nd go at it all is a little bit different than the first. It's not that we're not just as excited, it's just "different". WE have our Mr.Man that's keepin us busy and on our toes and makes our days fly by! I can't believe we've been waiting for our referral for almost 4 months-time is flying!

We've also been a little bit anxious about the 2 trips that are now required by the embassy for our adoption. We will travel for her court date (which previously, we had a POA that would do this for us), meet our daughter and hang with her for a few days, leave Addis without her and then she would come home about 4-6 weeks later. All of you know my passion for adoptions is HUGE, my passion for flying is NOT and my passion for leaving Rylee Bona behind that far away for that long and two times is NOT....So i continue to pray everyday that I get a little bit more peace with it all and things are going to work out as they should.

We ask that you please continue to keep us all in your prayers, so that everything will fall into their place and we all remain healthy and safe!

Crazy June!

Apparently the month of June was busy, because it came and gone and there we're no blog posts! What in the world! We've just been hanging out and taking in the gorgeous weather that Michigan has been giving us since May! I think it was owed to us being that last summer was the PITS!!! Rylee is such a character! The things that are come outta his mouth everyday have us just rollin'-WE got to welcome 2 new friends home this month-so that's BIG news-Our friends Jaclyn and Scott welcomed Baby Ayla into their family and Mark and Amy brought Baby Eli home from the airport-WElcome Home little ones! Rylee loves his new friends!!! WE also found out that some close friends of ours are expecting-so babies babies everywhere!!! Let's hope that means that we soon hear of news on our baby girl soon!
Father's day was kinda "low key" this year as Rylee was a lil' under the weather, so Ryan did his thing with his dad and I did our thing and then we just hung out as a family later in the day-no fun being sick-especially in the summer.
4th of July pics coming soon-I promise I wont let a whole month go by without a post/pics again! Our life as a family of 3 is just plain F-U-N! WE can't wait to add the last piece to our puzzle!


Welcome Home Mark, Amy and Eli

Rylee loves his buddy Luke-very traumatic night leaving him.....
