Celebration Flowers!!!

I have thought of so many fun ways I could tease you all about our good news, but I am so excited, I can't wait.....


IT'S A BOY!!!!

Steve brought home these flowers tonight to celebrate that a new little one will be joining our family, we hope soon. He is in Ethiopia and is about 4 months old. He is, of course, gorgeous! We are always open to "special needs" and found out about an agency with baby boys waiting on a list. They have no special needs, there just are not enough families to adopt boys. So we found out yesterday that our application was accepted and our little guy is officially waiting for us to come get him. We don't know when that will be yet, but today we celebrate!!! GOD IS GRACIOUS (which by the way is what my name means - cool, huh?)
And another super blessing ... my parents gave us our first baby gift...their Canon Camera that I have been borrowing! Thank you Mom and Dad!

  3. That's awesome! I'm so excited that this precious little boy now has a family with you!
    I find it hard to believe that boys are adopted less than girls. Little boys are amazing!

    That's really neat about the gift of the camera too! I can't wait to see this little guys picture!
