Third Week of April

We've all been sick this past week....stuffy noses, sore throats, a bit of vomiting here and there mixed with a minor dose of pink eye. I usually escape this stuff somehow, no matter how under the weather everyone else is. But not this time.

On the adoption front, Amanda's OB says she's looking right on target for her due date (only two weeks away!). Our caseworker says we'll get a phone call when Amanda goes into labor, at which point we'll hop on a plane. So very exciting. Everytime I think about that moment I want to fall on my knees in thanksgiving. God is overly generous with me.

Pictures taken through my windshield from the side of a road I drive almost every day. A typical scene in April. California poppies, mustard flowers and pepper trees. I love where I live.


Going back to bed now.

Oh my! So beautiful! Hopefully that scene and the thought of hopping on a plane soon will keep your spirits up while you are recovering! Maybe God is letting you get all the illness out of your system before you bring home your sweet baby boy!

Oh! It's so hard to be sick like that. I hope you are all well very soon!

I am so happy for you about the baby. I know I'm just a stranger inside the computer, but your family is in my daily thoughts and prayers.

Your pictures always make me so homesick, Kristen.

We continue to pray fervently for Amanda and all five of you.
