"For with God nothing shall be impossible" Luke 1:37
We celebrated Jeremy's 21st birthday and Andy's 43rd on Saturday, November 29th. Everyone gathered at my house for a dinner of lasagna, salad and other goodies. We had a good time and I think they both enjoyed their "party". Roy, Carol and their children were not able to join us for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday as they were at Carol's mothers house so it was nice to spend time with them. With Susie's 4 children, Roy's 2, Sharon's 2 little ones and Shane, there was a houseful of kids. The more the merrier! I can't wait until Abigail is here and in the mix with the rest of them. I received my monthly update for her and her nanny reports that she is smart and quite the chatterbox. I will have two chatterboxes as Shane talks constantly.
John Anthony sent me pictures of he and Melissa at the Seahawks/Redskin game that they went to in Seattle so I am including one of their pictures as well as some from the birthday party. I am mailing off our Visa applications tomorrow so we will have them prior to receiving our LOA. Several families that I have networked with are traveling in the coming weeks to bring their precious children home and while I am very excited for them, it makes me long even more to be traveling to bring my little one home. My next trip will be next Friday, December 12th as I am traveling to California for work. I will be gone for 4 nights and I just can't imagine being away from Shane for that long. I have started preparing him for the fact that I will be gone for several nights. I think with the holidays and everything else that is going on that December will fly by for us and it will be January before we know and we will be even closer to bringing Abigail home.
Jeremy will be home from college for the Christmas break next Wednesday, December 10th and I am glad that I will see him for a day or two before my trip. I have to run and finish up the Visa applications and will post again soon!
