LID!!!

We finally have a log in date!! Our LID is 8/27/12!!! Yay, Very happy about that. I woke up in the middle of the night last night thinking about him and couldn't get back to sleep. I spent the time praying for him. I didn't know if there was a specific reason. So I was praying. I hope he is O.K. I figured it must be hard for him with another child going home this week, and yet he continues to wait. They had said he gets upset when someone gets a family and he feels he will never have one. I hope it helps him to know about us now. Hopefully he is not getting doubtful with it taking so long. With our log in date it makes it feel closer to us. Yet for a child the wait is still long. We are moving full steam ahead finishing up paperwork, Joshua's passport arrived today, putting a letter and photos together to send, working out the finances (prayer needed there). It's exciting!!! It's real now. We hung hooks for the kids backpacks yesterday. Pop pop had put away antique hooks that we used. There were 4. :)  We hung them and put the kids backpacks on them. One for each, including Frankie. We got him one to take to China, and then he can use it for school when he comes home. It's going to sound crazy, but they are in the dining room. We are a little space challenged. We do not have a laundry room or mudroom in this house. Or even a closet on our first floor. So our dining room has served a dual purpose of being our "homework room" as the kids refer to it. So there are books in there, and now backpacks. It's all good. I am doing a photo wall above it. Will post a picture later.
