and boy how I have missed her (my sis and brother in law too!!)
We have had such fun since she arrived on Saturday night!
A baby shower, a couple of ice cream outings, a slumber party at our house (she is staying with Mom this time) a zoo expedition and I babysat my beautiful neice while everyone else went to the new Transformers movie (I guess I am glad that I didnt go...it wasnt very good from what they said) I so very wish that they lived closer to us!
They will be in the midwest for 2 weeks before heading home! I can't believe Isabella is 5 weeks old already...She is getting SO big! It was so nice to see my kids meet their newest cousin...Emily is quite the little mommy for sure. Nothing like competing with your own daughter for Isabella time!
All in all it has been a quick but great visit. They are spending time with some friends as well as Charles' family the rest of the week, but we will see them some more over the weekend at my Dad's house for our annual 4th of July bash!
We have been keeping busy these past days with my sister, but we also managed to visit one of the new local parks which came complete with a splash pad (on a 90+ day)
and had a backyard campout with friends complete with the campfire and lots of s'mores! It was so cool to watch them play Ghost in the Graveyard....I so remember playing that growing up!
On the adoption front...
-Our Visas have been processed and are on their way back to us with our passports
-Travel approvals have been rolling in today on Rumor Queen....ours isnt one of them but averages are that they come every 12 days or so....I am really praying that ours is in the next batch or even possibly the one after that so we can still leave on the 7th. All in Gods time though!
-We are heading to Albion tomorrow as soon as I get off of work for our travel meeting!! Our last meeting with our adoption agency before we leave WOOHOO
-We are just waiting to see if the "happy couple" from my last post has given birth to our Article 5 yet!
We are getting so close to bringing our boy home!!! We are coming Sammy!
Blessings

2 little notes from friends:
Oh Amy, I am so praying that you hear something soon. I totally know how you are feeling right now. I think the last couple of months were the hardest for me. Knowing that you are so close, but not quite close enough. Prayers are definitely being sent up for you.
Love,
Mandi
Glad you are enjoying your time right now. I am so excited to see you so close right now to holding your new son...such excitement!!
