We are so excited... we have finally worked it into our schedule to make a visit trip to see Sara! Tim and I will leave on Sunday, August 5th and return home on Thursday August 9th. We are looking forward to meeting Sara and getting to spend time with her... but I have to be honest...I am scared to death leaving my babies behind. We've never BOTH been away from them... not once... ever. YIKES. Please pray special prayers for Mommy and Daddy to not have a nervous breakdown worrying... and for Mamoo and Papoo that will have the first watch on Sunday... and finally for Katrina and Shelby who will (no doubt) spoil our children to the point that it will take me months and months to regain any control OR order... and never again will I be their favorite. Seriously - we are very blessed to have such wonderful family and friends to care for and love our children while we are gone... and to keep them happy and preoccupied so that they will not be homesick or sad.
Most of all, please pray that Sara will feel comfortable and safe with us... and will know how excited we are to have her as part of our family. Please pray that her heart will continue to open and prepare for the big changes that are in store for her...
On another note - we did NOT get the grant that we were hoping for from Shaohannah's Hope. I know there are so many families out there that are requesting help... and we plan to begin to apply for a few more this week. Please pray that we are successful in finding the remaining money that we need to complete our adoption expenses... we have yet another Yard Sale opportunity in the latter part of the month!
Finally - here are some pictures that Jane took of Sara the night that she dropped off Karly and Lucas. Isn't she adorable? So glad to see she likes to eat... since that is one of our favorite past times as well. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE say a special prayer for Jane and Karly that her case will be signed and released from the Family Court Judge SOON. She met with the FC Judge when she was in Guatemala... and the Judge was supposed to sign the case, but still has not. Thank you - I know that she will appreciate it.
