4 Weeks . . . and 3 days!

Yes folks - it has been 4 weeks since we (supposedly . . . I mean. . . . hopefully) entered Family Court. I was hoping that we would be out by now as I know they didn't have to interview the birthmom or do DNA. But - I guess not. This week is Holy Week (Palm Sunday through Easter), so many things slow down or shut down for all the festivities. So - I'm not sure if we will hear much this week or not. We'll see. One can hope.

3 Days!!! Yes - that's right . . . only 3 days till I am snuggling with my little girl - Wendy (Kathryn) Elizabeth!!! (still not sure if Kathryn will be her first or middle name . . . as of late - it's looking like it may be a middle name. stay tuned though . . . )

Jeremy and I are very excited to see our beautiful daughter in person - to get to know her and for her to get to know us. Pray that it all goes well - our flights, our visit, etc. I know it will be odd for her - and I don't want her to think we are leaving her (for good) when we have to leave next week to come home. Pray that, even at her young age, she will understand somewhat.

Also - please pray for Wendy Kate's housemom. She is having surgery on April 10th - on her back. Pray for her safety and quick recovery, and especially for her husband - who, obviously, doesn't want anything to happen to his wonderful wife! They are in charge of 18 kids in the "baby house" (along with a couple missionaries) - so it will be a challenge to not have the housemom being able to do anything for a month and then only light duty for a few months after that. I know they covet your prayers. Thanks so much!!!

Blessings to you all and your families today! We are so grateful for you and your prayers! Keep praying for a "speedy" process for the rest of this adoption! Thank you!
