Please pray for Abby...

Please join us in praying for this wonderful little girl and her family...

Waitlist update and fingerprints!



We're officially number 20!!! That is great in itself....but, after Jana's promotion from blogstalker to SuperSleuth, we may actually be:


So, several referrals have gone out, so if you are reading this and know more than me (hmm...most people on here!) correct me if I'm wrong. So these referrals aren't "official" until the next update...but at the moment, this is probably where we stand! Amen!

ALSO, we've been waiting for one more thing....our USCIS fingerprint appointment! It finally came today. If we can't make the date, it gets rescheduled who-knows-when. Fortunately, it was scheduled for a day I have off of work! God is so awesome...perfectly orchestrated. We love Him.

So we go up to get our fingerprints one last time. Jana was going to use hers from when she was caught streaking at the Backstreet Boys Reunion Concert, but I told her they needed to be newer than that.



Just kidding...Jana doesn't think that's funny either.

Happy New Year!!!

So the holidays interfered with blogging....not that we're the best bloggers anyway. I respect those people who can be witty and resourceful and actually write something that people want to read every other day! Way to go, BlogStars!

Our unofficial number:


Go ahead; pick one...okay, two numbers. Somewhere between 1 and 23. That's about what we know for sure right now.

So, no updates yet....we do know there have been a spectacular number of referrals recently, probably putting us in the teens on the girl waitlist. Jana is an excellent blogstalker....which is a slippery slope: it sometimes causes more confusion, but she's determined to figure out where we are on the waiting list. We're so excited to meet our little girl!

Christmas was excellent this year. We had a great time. Paisley and Majil really enjoyed themselves. The best part was seeing Paisley comprehend the reason for Christmas and getting just as much enjoyment GIVING gifts as she did receiving them. I am a proud papa.

Yep, those are matching pajamas. We rocked 'em right away.

They're still singing Away in a Manger...like, right now. At 10:30 p.m. Mind you, they've been in bed since 7:30. But when I go upstairs to quiet them down, Paisley says "But Daddy, we're praising JESUS!" Go ahead and sing until your tired little self lands on the pillow, sweetheart. Just be sure to harmonize with your sister....gotta figure out somehow to put your mom and I through retirement...

So...any New Year's Resolutions?
