I cannot believe it. We got our court date today!! I thought that at the very least it would be 2-3 weeks before we heard anything. So, I was hanging out with my girlfriends today and saw a missed 817 call , and I knew it, but I couldn't believe it. The court date is May 22. It is a Friday. Yea! So the 1st thing one of the girls said is, "can we paint his room now?" We have not done much at all in the way of shopping or preparing his room. I think it is just the whole guarding your heart thing. I guess we better get with it!!
I had been meaning to blog about a little something.. I thought this was really cool. Just about a week before we got our referral my mom told me that her biggest prayer she has been praying for us is that we would get a "happy" baby. I thought that is funny because that is mine too. Well the 1st lines of our referral read, "D has a seemingly unsinkable happiness. He is one of the most joyful babies in foster care. He is very active, loves to play, and is almost always smiling". I love that! I have read those words over and over again. God is so good!
Another thing we are excited about is that Sarah and Davis are traveling in a few days to pick up their precious children and they are delivering a package for us. They are going to try to visit him and deliver the gift for us! It will be so cool to hear about him from someone who is visiting there. We are truly grateful and look forward to doing the same for others when we travel. The little toy is cool. It is a photo book made just for babies. So we put our faces in it. I wonder what he'll think about us.
