Well for over 3 months now our lives have been completely turned upside down with having a cute and wild little 4 yr old girl living with us. She calls us mommy and daddy, and we have grown to love her very much. She has given new meaning to our lives and given us so much more than we could have ever imagined. She is quite a handful; full of so much energy and is constantly on the move! She is feisty, sassy, willful, and very independent; but she is just a baby who needs constant love and attention. We have learned so much about ourselves and about life. God has truly been teaching us so much and opening our hearts and minds in ways we never thought possible. We have found ourselves constantly on the move and almost have to schedule time to just relax. Between our business, my job, our church commitments, family, and now our little precious angel, life has become just a rush and we are almost not able to enjoy it! We are learning how to balance everything and not take for granted the precious moments that pass us by. Our situation right now does not have a sense of permanence and we have not been able to fully breathe easy just yet. There is the looming fear that she will be gone and we will be back where we started. We have a court date coming up and we are hoping for good news to share with everyone. We just want to feel more like this is our real life and it is not just a surreal temporary dream. Please pray for us! Our family is not complete either, we would still love to adopt a baby! Every night the 3 of us pray for a baby brother and a baby sister, she insists we say "and." We are hoping and praying that our new family is permanent, but if it isnt we will continue to trust that this is all part of His plan and that He is more in store for us. Thank you for your patience, this is a long road and we appreciate all the continued love, prayers, and support!
