Adoption Update

Many of you have asked lately where we are in our adoption process. I know I haven't said much about the adoption lately and the reason why is that there really hasn't been anything to tell. It seems like we are at a stand-still with all of this paperwork (specifically the I-800A). We have also had some papers expire while we wait on others...ugh. I try to stay positive about it, but if I'm being honest, it has really been discouraging lately. If you have ever been in this process or know someone who has, you probably know what I'm talking about. I'm really just trying to be patient and not worry about how long it's taking because I know that God has perfect timing. We feel like part of our family is missing and it's frustrating and sad sometimes....I'm sorry, but that's all I have to tell. There just isn't much to say. I'll tell you this though! When we do have some good news I'll be shouting it so loud that you just might hear me if ya step outside! I am so ready for some good news, so keep the prayers coming. I pray that God will give us wisdom and patience as we finish this long process, and most importantly, that He will protect our sweet children while we are waiting. It really means a lot to us that you guys have asked about this and are praying with us, thank you. xo, Sam

Hugs being sent your way. My brother and his wife tried adopting for a while and it was a long frustrating wait. I wish you the best!

Maybe God wants you to have some special time with your new little one before the adoption takes place.

I'm waiting on His timing in somethings too.... It can be difficult waiting upon the Lord, but I'm relying on his plan.

I've been wondering about your adoption. I tell you with ours we wrote letters and called the USCIS people....it speeds them along. But ultimately it will happen in God's timing, he postponed you a little so your little one could make her entrance into the world, but He knows your desire to have the rest of your kids home.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
