Our baby Angel

So much to tell!

First let me just shout out......WE ARE OFFICIAL ....LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN! Ok now that I have that out of my system...LOL. Our dossier is in Haiti, and our countdown begins for when we can finally bring our baby home.


Second, our baby needs lots of prayer! He is not doing well right now! He was diagnosed with Pyhillis (sp?). When he was first brought into the orphanage his test was negative for this, but now it is showing up. He was tested because he is not growing/gaining weight (another prayer request). So he was tested for various things to find out why he was not growing. Well now the pyhillis test came back positive. He is on penicillin, but doesn't seem to be improving as of yet. The orphanage is very concerned about him right now! Both the orphanage and agency wants us to start looking for medical doctors that would be willingly to treat him at no cost incase he has to come here on a medical visa. If he comes here on a medical visa, he would live with us (Yay!!), but it could complicate the adoption, and he might even have to go back to Haiti for awhile after treatment (so that would not be good).

On a brighter note, I'm sending him a little something this week. I know he is still young and won't really know, but it was sure fun shopping for him :).

Dossier Done

We just sent in our Dossier to our agency....Whew finally! Ok so maybe we have a few bumps to work out (might have to change our Power of Attorney). It seems that there might of been a few mistakes that have to be fixed, I am hoping not, but we'll see! Other then that we are good to go! Our agency is going to be translating and preparing our dossier to send to Haiti.

Our baby angel (by the way, since people are asking; angel is not his name but we are protecting our kids by not posting their names on here) has moved on his orphanage webpage - to a child with a family! YaY!!!!!

We just finished up two fundraisers in the past month and it feels like the summer just slipped by. We now are leaving to take a much needed family vacation! Off to the magical land of Disney World. Our family is in dire need of family time, and what better place then Disney World. Even Nate is looking forward to it LOL ( and he doesnt like crowds). Please keep us in prayer while we are there (as there are a few storms in the atlantic that might affect us while we are there). Also, please keep Angel in your prayers has he might be in the path of these storms as well.

When we get back, I will be starting school with peanut butter, and monkey. This is my first year homeschooling, so I'm a little nervous, but Nate and I feel this is the best route right now for our children! I will be buying the school curriculumn on Thursday, and picking up the last bit of supplies when we get back, so we will be good to go! I'm planning on using Abeka this year!

I will update more later, hopefully with more pictures of Angel and our Disney trip!
