Movin' on up....

Wow ... there has been some major referrals this week...CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO HAVE RECEIVED A REFERRAL.

Of course, we are all trying to figure out where that puts us ... there were a couple unknown people that received girl referrals that we think were on the boys' list as well... we were supposed to get a call from our case manager today ... however, she emailed saying she's been so busy with traveling families and referrals that she didn't get through all her waiting list calls so that'll come Monday to get the official numbers.

Nevertheless ... we're thinking that we are unofficially...

on the boy's list (almost single digits!) and...

on the girl's list (we're in the teens!)

OUTSTANDING!

GOD IS GOOD AND ALWAYS FAITHFUL AND WE KNOW HIS TIMING IS PERFECT! (We're definitely fans of Him moving things along ... a prayer that Amber and I say every morning)

We didn't think we'd be this far along at the beginning of December ... again, it's unofficial but it's a great feeling knowing there is movement going on.

Amber and I have been babysitting tonight for a friend's 3 year old ... good practice, I suppose. He's a really good kid and his mom had the opportunity to go to the Toby Mac concert in Nashville tonight so we couldn't say no...

We went and got our Christmas tree last night and decorated it tonight (with the 3 year old's help ... he had a blast!) We put it in the almost-finished living room ... it's always the little things that take forever to get done. And we're still fans of a live Christmas tree ... we're hoping that doesn't change as we get older...we think it'll be a great tradition picking out a tree together as a family...

Have a GREAT weekend!
