This week has been hard for me. I blogged about it a couple of days ago, so you all have already listened to me whine! Last night still had the same kind of just depressed/anxious/edgy feeling. I was aimlessly on the computer checking email and was responding to an email from my Nanjing kids yahoo group. This mom was all excited because she had just gotten her Log in date for her 3 year old son. Her website was at the bottom of her post and I decided to take a peek...
There were some pictures on there because she had sent a cake to her son from Ladybugs N Love (the same service we used for our orphange call). Anyway....
Anyone look familiar?????
I just started to cry...for 2 reasons, one...I have been so anxious to get our TA so we can be there for his 3rd birthday (Aug 11)...Now I know that he at least has had one part of a birthday cake :-)
and 2 because I have been so sad, just seeing his face just totally lifted my heart! I havent seen a new picture of him since April (this was taken in June)
God quietly reminded me that He is still here, He is still in charge and He will always comfort me. What an incredible reminder!!!! I am so blessed...and a lot less stressed! Dont you love his expression in the picture??????
Oh, and before I forget....my dad sent a few pictures of their trip with the kids.
these are the pictures from the Sears tower....SCARY!!!
This next picture is equally scary to me though.....
My dad letting Taylor drive around their neighborhood...and no, she doesnt have her permit yet *gasp*
Blessings!!

3 little notes from friends:
Oh Sammy is so cute in that picture. He looks a bit surprised. And the picture of the kids at the Sears Tower freaks me out a bit. That is way too high up for me.

Amy, What a great gift at the end of a trying week for you! I'm so happy you got to see your little guy and can now have a peaceful weekend!
God bless you. I know the exact feeling you're referring to when you talk about edgy/stressed/checking your email 50,000 times in a row. What a gift to have a new picture of Sammy. And I do love his expression!
Be blessed,
Courtney
