Trixie's Prayer

Trixie loves to pray and we never know what to expect when she prays. Tonight's started with her classic intro, "Oh, Lord!" and then she continued with, " I don't know when we'll get Henry but it needs to be soon! I will give him some food and mango to eat." From there her prayer skipped on to how "we're all connected to other stuff" (something she picked up from a Pocahontas song). So sweet that Trixie is praying for Henry and how funny that her concern is feeding him. That's my girl! :)

Approved

We got our approval today from immigration for our I600A application. I was starting to get worried since it has been over a month since we mailed the application in. What a relief to get these things taken care of. I also found out today about a couple more referrals. 8 referrals since April 1. We've got to be right at the top of the list -- I hope the referrals keep on rolling out!!

Mother's Day

Today was the best Mother's Day I've had yet! There was one particularly sweet moment that I want to remember so that Henry can know about it some day. This morning I was giving Brent a kiss and hug to thank him for the card and of course Lydia and Trixie wanted to join in. They always want to join in with Brent and I's hugs. As we were all hugging and kissing each other Lydia shouts out "Let's send kisses and hugs to Henry!" We all blew kisses to Henry. Then Lydia said "Let's give extra big hugs for Henry!" As we're all hugging Lydia shouts out, "Happy Mother's Day, Henry!" It was just so sweet.

We're getting there!

I just checked the Lifelink online group and saw that there has been another referral. There have been a total of 5 since April 1. If my calculations are correct we should be about #3 on the list now!!!! We're getting so close -- yikes & yahoo! Looking at the referral pictures makes me so excited ~ those babies are incredibly cute. There's some major things to do, though. We need a new car, another kitchen chair, Trixie needs to get moved into Lydia's room, Brent and I need to take our adoption courses and wow! can I really do this?! The answer is a definite YES!
