No more diapers...for now

Yea!! Brian has gone 3 nights and 2 naps with out a diaper. Thanks to our babysitter, who did not put a diaper on Brian before bed Friday night. This same sitter did the same thing with Lucas. Even though it is only going to be for about a month, it is nice to say...WE ARE DIAPER FREE!

On another note, we found out this past week that it will be June before I will be going to get Cara. Apparently, all of our agency's familys that are going to Ho Chi Minh City are not going until June. The good about this is all of the "activities" we are in will be over. Lucas will be out of school and will have his graduation ceremony. Awana will be over, which Bill and I volunteer for, as well as my Bible study. Also, Lucas' birthday is May 24th. We know that God knows what is best and what the perfect time is. I will keep my faith in that.

All In Time

One year ago today our dossier was logged in in China. It would be at least another year before we received our referral from China. In just under 3 months we changed agency's, got all of our paperwork done, got our referral and are now just waiting to get the call to travel. In less than the time it took us to get the paperwork done for the China adoption, we will have done all of that and have our daughter home. Just when I had decided that I was ok with standing still, God said it was time to move. And move we did. Now we stand still again, but this time it is to go get Cara. All of my bags are packed and ready to go. So as I grow impatient with waiting to go get Cara, I have to remind myself that our time is not His time. God knows when this will all happen and that it is the perfect timing.
