Several weeks ago, my mom and Jerry came over to watch a MSU/Michigan game. J watched the game with Poppy (Jerry) and my mom (Mimi) taught KJ and I how to make jewelery. It was a ton of fun and we finished a pretty new bracelet together. KJ loves those moments with Mimi!!

November Update!!
Last Thursday was the beginning of a new month which means I was checking my email every 10 minutes to receive the update from our agency of our placement on the waiting list. :)
We truly believe that God is in control and He knows the timing and placement of our future child(ren), but I'm telling you...knowing where you are on the waiting list is something I think most waiting parents become obsessed with!! It's the only connection you have of how long until you know something about your future kids!!
All that to say, we did receive an update Thursday and it looks like we are now #22. It's not moving as fast as we'd like, of course, but again....not our timing....but HIS. We also know the time it takes to move through an international adoption is long because of the paperwork and precautions taken to insure the best interest of the children. We wouldn't want it any other way.
To keep ourselves busy, we decided to get passports for J and KJ!! We are still not positive if they will be joining us for our first trip, but just in case, we want to be ready. :)
