Please God, let us pass tonight!

We are going to court for the 4th time tonight while we are sleeping! I am believing we will get a good report tomorrow!!! If you remember, please pray!

So let's shoot for the 4th time!!!

Well, we didn't pass again!!! It seems like if anything crazy is going to happen it will happen to me! I tease my friends that I am the "freaky friend"! Our agency said that it is not common to not pass this many times but it has happened! Of course it will happen to us!!! Hopefully we will pass the 4th time. I know that God has a plan and I'm trying to rest in that!

Third times a charm?

So tonight while we sleep, the courts will meet AGAIN to see if we pass. Please Jesus let us pass and let his mom show up and be well!

Kindergarten Graduation and a fever!:(

Today was Max's Kindergarten graduation! I can't believe he is already going to the first grade! He is growing up so fast! I just love him and all her brings to our lives! The program was so cute and he did such a great year! We are so blessed to be able to send our kids to a school where they can recite Bible verses and sing about Jesus! I even got interviewed for the local TV station! I'm a hometown celebrity!!!:)

Max had so many people there to celebrate with him! He is a very blessed little boy to have so many people that love him! After graduation he had a gift card for McDonald's from Mama and Papa he wanted to spend so we went with Aunt Denise and Tony and Amos. Max wasn't playing much and he was sitting on my lap a lot. I thought he felt warm, but didn't think anything of it. When we got in the car he kept crying saying his "brain" hurt!:( And he was almost asleep! When we got home he had a fever and fell asleep on me! I enjoyed that part of it but felt so bad for him. He seems to be doing better now that the Motrin has kicked in. But I will attach some pics of our awesome little man Max!

The rest of the song

When my friends and my family have left me,
I feel so ashamed and so cold,
Remind me you take broken things and turn them into BEAUTIFUL!!!


Even if my dreams have died, even if I don't survive,
I'll still worship you with all my life!!!!
Thank you for turning all the broken things in my life to beautiful and for my baby boy!

It never seems to end!

It seems like there is always something going on around here! We are in the midst of construction at our house and today a water line was installed in the new room. So somehow we only have HOT water coming out of some of the faucets. The poor kids had scolding hot baths tonight! Well actually, I put in the water and let it sit in the tub before I put the kids in! Then it appeared that our AC upstairs was not working correctly! And Joe has not been in the "best" mood! He is hardly in a bad mood so when he is in one it rocks my world! I don't know what to do with it except to keep pointing out he is in a bad mood! And he LOVES it when I do that!:)

We had a lot of family time today, took the kids swimming twice where Ella's ear was hurting. I'm pretty sure she has an infection! I'll have to get her into the dr. on Monday! Poor girl. And she had a softball game today. She did great made a great stop and got a good hit. It was very hot and we all got some sun today! We came home ate dinner and did baths and I went to TJ MAXX and to Target. Now I am in bed relaxing!

Tomorrow is church, my nephew Tony's birthday party at the skating rink and Ella's softball game! I am so glad school is almost out. Tuesday is Max's kindergarten graduation! I can't believe my little boy is going to be in 1st grade. He just doesn't seem old enough. And Thursday is Maya's preschool graduation and Ella's awards assembly and I can't do both and Joe will be gone!:( But Thursday is the last day and then our summer can begin.

I am excited to start the summer and not have a routine. I am excited to get my baby home hopefully this summer and start our lives as a family of 6. This journey has created so many emotions! From pure joy to pure sadness!!! I was listening to a song I have listened to 100 times in my car and Maya was in there with me listening and she said, "Mommy, this is baby Ade's song! Wise words from a 4 year old. It was right after the last postponed court date! Please pray that Thursday his mother is well enough to show up and that we pass! Here are some of the words to the song:

Feels like I've been here forever(waiting for a court date)
why can't you just intervene?
Do you see the tears keep falling,
And I'm falling apart at the seams,
But you never said the road would be easy
but you said that you would never leave,
You never promised that this life wasn't hard,
but you promised you'd take care of me,
So I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape,
And I'll trust you God with where I am and believe that you will have your way

That is so much easier to sing than to actually do! Have a great night and love someone!

Awesome Dream!!!

So last night I had an awesome dream. I dreamed that little man was home with us and he was doing sooo good! And he loved us so much, he kept hugging and kissing me! I hope that is an indication of how it will be! We are just really praying that all goes well and his birth mom is feeling better by Thursday so she can make it to court! Please pray for me! We are having a fun day today! Andrea is coming over to play and then we are going to a cookout at the Seiter's tonight! Fun night!
