Our Adoption Journey: Recent Happenings...

Joselyn has mastered rolling from her back to her tummy. Unfortunately she can't get back to her tummy so she doesn't always enjoy being "stuck". She really enjoys sitting in her bumbo and we recently tried the exersaucer which she enjoys for a short time.

This weekend we enjoyed time with some college friends for our annual get together for Homecoming. Our count is 5 couples, 10 kids and 2 on the way! Great times had by all. Thanks to Scott and Lyndsay for hosting for the weekend. Lots of good food, homecoming activities and football. We even made a trip to the local pumpkin patch. It was awfully cold so we didn't stay too long. I needed a nap this afternoon to recuperate!

In a few short months we'll be able to finalize Joselyn's adoption. It seems to have gone fast yet the wait seemed like forever! It happened all in God's timing, not ours. Joselyn fits right in with our clan. The question I get asked the most is "Where is she from?" We have chosen not to disclose this information. I think a lot lately about creating her LifeBook and making that special for her so she can know where she came from and her beginning. I'm thankful we were able to meet both the birthmom and birthdad so we have snipits of information about each that we can one day share with Joselyn. I pray that God will let us know when the time is right to share this information with her. In the meantime I continue to pray for Joselyn's birthparents as they continue on their journey.
