Filled with Joy

We are filled with JOY and anticipation of meeting our son, Phillips. The travel department contacted Jeremiah yesterday to say that everything is ready to go - just waiting for China to set our travel dates. The boys and I have been spending a lot of time in the nursery we've prepared for Phillips. We sit in the gliding chair that my grandpa Ed bought for me when Preston was born and read books and snuggle. I made Phillips a new "lovey" and it's waiting for him in his crib. We just mailed off a care package with toys, a pair of shoes, some clothes, baby snacks, pictures of each of us, and of course chocolate for his nannies! Keep baby Phillips in your prayers to remain healthy and content until we can bring him home.

Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year! Tomorrow we will celebrate Chinese New Year with a family from our church, who have also adopted from China. We've been very blessed to have their support and encouragement throughout our wait.

Speaking of Chinese New Year, the travel department in Colorado informed us that we haven't received our travel dates yet because everything is shut down in China until February 19th. They anticipate that we should hear about out travel dates by the end of February.

We've had a great weekend. It snowed here and it was absolutely beautiful! We had fun playing outside. Jeremiah was able to take some of our highschoolers over the Middle School for a snow fight. They had a blast. Some of friends came up to visit from Gwinnett and got snowed in for the night - we had a blast staying up late watching movies. Sad to see it all melting away!
