Our latest picture!

Here is our latest picture of Samuel. Thanks to the other Amy who is in Vietnam now!!!

Busy Week!!!

We have a very busy week this week. Our homestudy and dossier should be finished and we are going for USCIS fingerprinting. We are so totally excited. We also have a new picture of Samuel and he is smiling. I am going to try and post it on here. I just get so overwhelmed with emotion and can hardly stand it. God is soo good. I have been blessed with two wonderful children and have a third on the way. Thank you Father. Okay this is not the most recent picture but it is the first one we have of him smiling.

GOD IS GOOD!!!!

I have been so frustrated with our slow social worker, but I finally decided I would live. I tried to rationalize reasons for God making us wait. Anyway, I got the great news and instructions to start our dossier. I didn't think I would be so excited about gathering paperwork for the third time, but praise the Lord I am starting tomorrow (and hopefully finishing). I feel a little closer to my little boy!! Hang on Samuel, Momma and Daddy are coming!!!!!

Mother's Day

I really enjoyed this Mother's Day. My whole maternal family got together for dinner after church and really enjoyed spending time together. All of the great-grands enjoyed playing together and all of us cousins(grands) enjoyed remembering days gone by. I was so caught up with my oldest two children, that I didn't really have time to be sad about not having Samuel. However, I did make it a point to stand when they asked for the mothers of three children to stand at church!!! I dared anyone to question me on that point. As my husband sat around and talked after getting the babies to bed, I really realized how much I did miss Samuel. I am so frustrated with our social worker and I feel like nothing is getting done. If I knew there was a specific hold up or something I think I would be better, but I think he is just slow typing all of the information up. I look at my sweet sons face everyday, wondering what is going through his little head. Will he even want to be with us? Oh, how I want to hold my sweet little boy!!
