We went to Fedex today. Well, first we laminated the photos for Joshua at a teacher's store and I got to tell the nice salesman all about it. He was sincerely bumfuzzled that we had no idea when our cutie is coming home. Even after all of this time. I'm like, you have no idea, dude. Then, I walk into the Fedex to my sweet Fedex ladies. I used to work a part time job that involved me going into the Fedex office frequently last year, so they know all about Joshua. "Is he in the van????" they squeal. Uh...nope. So they oooh and cooo over his picture in my wallet and talk about how much he's grown and "ohhh, look at him grab his little toesies" and "those eyebrows!!" I love it!!! Makes it feel real for a little bit. Plus I know they handle my packages very carefully!!! When Joshua finally comes home, we'll be making a pitstop at the Fedex office to see the ladies. :~)
See what they sent off for me this time??
So, other than that, not much happening. I thought I'd post pictures of our "For Joshua" Photo Shoot. Top photo won out of Mama & Papa.
Top Photo of Kiddos Also Won Out.

We're currently in wait mode in our home, and not just when it comes to the adoption. Hurry up and wait. That's what it's been. I'm hoping to have some news of newer developments in our lives by the end of the week. I've been handling things relatively well, considering I don't like change. I've been thanking God for the sustaining grace He's poured out in these days. Ever get the feeling...the very strong, vibrant feeling that someone is praying for you? Really really praying? That's what it's felt like this week. So...whomever you are. Thanks.
I don't expect to hear anything adoption-wise this month. Haiti celebrates Carnival beginning this weekend and into next week, and from what I've looked up, the celebration probably goes on all month. Just in excess over the next few days. That means that more than likely, Joshua will celebrate his 18 month old birthday and 8 month anniversary in IBESR. Something about 18 months has been looming over me. Precious times that I'm missing. Kind of a marker in my mind...I just knew we'd be further along than we are by now. Ugh. SO, whomever you are, keep praying me all the way through the end of February....and into March, too, if you don't mind. Like they say, March comes in like a lion...

oh amanda, i completely understand... it's so hard, to pass up that 18 month mark in age! we did that some time ago... and ibesr, well, i am praying for them... it is so sad to us, that we have been in this process almost 2 years, and still, we sit in ibesr. what is more sad, is that we aren't the only ones. someday, someday soon, i pray that we will all receive the much awaited positive news we so desperately need.
hang in there. our time is coming!
