The big wait is here...the wait for news on our son...the wait for his second medical reports...the wait for a court date...the wait for a successful court completion...the wait for an Embassy date. We figure our wait will be somewhere around the 4-5 month mark.

Some things we're doing while waiting:
*Taking our 8 hour online class to meet Hague requirements (esp. fun for Jamie who has 2 other "classes" - the one he teaches and the grad school one he is a student in)
*Getting vaccinations (I need to call the Dr. tomorrow...why do I keep putting that off?)
*Reading too many books about "what to buy baby" and "baby bargains" and realizing there is a lot of STUFF out there (my mom claims she was told to put us in a dresser drawer lined with a blanket)
*Trying to figure out how to put the stuff from the former guest room, now baby room into the already crammed office, now guest room/office

And through it all, realizing that we are pretty blessed! Our problems are really not life threatening. In my bible study this week (we are doing the Beth Moore study of Daniel - AMAZING!) she quoted from another author who said if you were reading his book at that moment, then you are among the wealthy of the world. If you could #1) afford to buy a book and #2) had the education to read it , then you are at the 'top of the barrel' , globally speaking.

And so we wait... patiently.
