Muggy Monday

That is as creative as I can get for a title for today. LOL It has been soooooo hot here, of course, it's even worse because there is no AC in our house right now.

Thank the Lord though, we'll have it fixed tomorrow. The insurance is coming through for the furnace replacement. We need to wait for the rest of the claim though before we can replace the washer and dryer and hot water heater. Hoping that happens soon too though. We'll call tomorrow and see what the status of that is.

Kati had a softball game tonight. They lost, but she brought in two runs with her base hits, so she was feeling pretty positive afterwards. I'm proud of her, she is really working hard to find things she likes and does well.

I'm starting to get a little nervous about our Home study. Not so much the house stuff as the income, doc's reports, etc. Please pray that nothing gets in our way of bring home our little boy.

I find myself thinking of him more and more. Like in the plans for later in the year, or the holidays. When we talk about them, I always say, "We'll have one more for our gathering" or "one more to buy gifts for". I just think of him being here by then.

I have started thinking about toys and clothes to take with us when we go to meet him. I actually got him a couple of things the other day at Walmart, one was a t-shirt with a fire truck (Daddy loved that one!), and the other was a little grey hooded sweatshirt, since I know how they are there about layers when we take the children outside. :) Of course, I'm not sure about his size, so I guessed... 3 & 4T.

Anyway... I've already fit him right into our house, and family, and of course, he's been in my heart for a long time, even before God showed him to me. I think about that too, the route that God put me on that brought me to that moment. I'll have to be sure to make a scrapbook page about that for his "Coming Home" album.

God, I know you already do this, but take care of our little boy until we can bring him home. It's such a strange feeling to miss someone so deeply whom you've never even met. I miss him. I can't wait to hold him, and let him feel how much I love him and that I'll never ever let anything happen to him, and that he'll always be loved, and cared for, and he'll never be alone again because he has a Momma, and Daddy, and brother, and two sisters who love him very much. Keep him safe Father, keep him healthy, and whisper in his sweet ear that we're coming for him as soon as we can. Amen.
