Update...

Well, someone commented that I hadn't posted for awhile so here is an update. Jynger went to Vietnam and brought everyone pictures but us. I guess she figured since Tina had just traveled that I had pictures. We are caught in the I600 transition. It took me until yesterday to get ahold of Katie to help me out. We did not have an official referral pic so I needed to know what to do. I then rushed to the UPS store (45 minutes away) to send the stuff only to realize I forgot to get my husband to sign it. So today I will try again.
I am trying so hard not to get discouraged and to remember that God does have a plan. In reading to my son last night I found a little story that said life is like a quilt and right now I am working on one square. I tell you this is one intricate square because it seems to be taking a long time to complete. Just please pray, not for me, but for Samuel who is waiting for his family.

New Pics!!!

Here is one of the new pics we got today of Samuel!!! I am so excited. He is holding a small stuffed animal and a photo album we sent. He looks a little sad, but hopefully the pictures helped. Tina, the mother to his best friend, said that he was very protective of Alex and watched out for him. I sure hope we can get together with the boys so they don't lose that bond. Now I'm waiting for travel!!

Yippeeeeeeeee!!!!!

We have a log in date of Sept. 18. I am so excited to know my paperwork is moving along! We now have to wait 3-6months before travel. I was looking back at Samuel's friend's timeline and it took his family 3 1/2 months before they traveled. It is in God's time and 3 1/2 months would allow us to miss the holiday hike on airline tickets, but I really really want my little guy home for Christmas! We may have to have Christmas twice! Anyway, I am on a high today and can't wait for more news.
