What Rhett Wants To Teach His Little Sister! (Video)

Tonight we decided to make a video for the birthfather since he is overseas and we probably will not get a chance to meet him face to face. I thought just a few minutes of Reggie and I telling a little about ourselves, showing him the nursery progress and asking Rhett a few simple questions. Well, you know how they say kids say the funniest things! That's exactly what happened when it was Rhett's turn to answer what he wants to teach his little sister. Over the last few weeks he has always said baseball, board games and frog catching so we were floored when we heard his response. Watch for yourself and listen to what Reggie tells me about making a video with a kid, I had to laugh!

Exciting ABBA Fund News (Adoption Update)

We just received news that we qualified for the ABBA Fund interest free loan! The is a HUGE blessing and helps us tremendously towards the total cost of the adoption. If you are in the process or feel the tug of adoption on your heart and don't know how you would pay for it, please check out more information on the ABBA Fund.

And, in case you are looking for other ways to help with the finances of adoption we have also found Life Song for Orphans. They will set up a tax deductible account where your friends and family can donate money towards your adoption and it's tax deductible for them! I'll let you know more about this once we go through the approval process.

To be part of this adoption process has challenged me in several ways, but I must admit the financing has been overwhelming at times and made me depend on God even more. The thing He keeps reminding me is this is His child, His timing and His finances!

Baby Countdown : 7 Weeks to Go and Making a To Do List

As of today it is only 7 weeks until the baby's due date and I have a feeling these next few weeks are going to fly by, so as any well organized wannabe would do I have made a LIST. There is something about doing this that makes me feel so in control, so much like I am headed in the right direction. Now, to only stick to the list and not find 100 other projects that I need to do along the way.

I should have added 'organize baby clothes' to the list because this week my generous friends Kristen and Melanie blessed us with enough little girl clothes to keep me busy for awhile. Look at all these goodies!

And, of course I have picked up a few things along the way because I couldn't resist. Most of them are from the Dwell Collection at Target. Don't you just love Target!

Okay, I'm off to conquer the To Do List so next week at this time the list will be a little shorter.

Baby's First Picture!

We received this picture of the baby from the birthmother today and just had to share it! What a great surprise and so special that she would think of us. I can hardly wait to hold our precious little girl!
