Still Here...Still Waiting.

Friends, January is almost over and we feel blessed to know that we are getting closer to making our family complete. We haven't received any word on progress with Morgan's adoption, but we have faith that things are moving along. On our end, Steve and I have completed our Infant CPR course required by our agency and we've finished two of the three books we are reading this time for our education requirements. Next, we will tackle 3-4 online adoption courses, finish the other book relating to toddler adoption and we should be golden!

Each month that goes by, the more impatient we become. Please pray that the remainder of our wait is peaceful and productive as we prepare our hearts and home for Morgan's homecoming.

It's been a rough month in terms of illness spreading amongst our little family and I'll be grateful when all of the doctors appointments come to an end. Sophie is feeling better, but had to have one of the tubes in her ears removed as it was ineffective. That means that she will endure another surgery to put the tubes back in her little ears on February 17th. Factor in all of the pre-admission appointments and follow-up appointments for us all and we have another 2 weeks of waiting in the waiting rooms. Sigh. I often wonder if I should have been keeping track of just how many hours of our lives are spent waiting for doctors appointments...then I think that I really don't want to know.

This weekend should be a great little get-away for us as we are taking a roadtrip to visit our dear friends, the Westons. Sophie is super-excited about playing with Jacob and Abby and I am looking forward to getting away and visiting with one of my best friends. Here's hoping that February will be full of blessed news for everyone!

I'm sorry to hear about the tubes. Hopefully everything will be smooth sailing. As always, keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
