Well we hit a small snag in our dossier. We sent it to CWA on March 6. On March 13, we received notice that our local home study agency didn't enclose the notaries needed for some of their paperwork. Those were sent in 3/14, and hopefully they will have them today. The dossier then goes to the Embassy of Ethiopia in Washington D.C.. Two years ago when we visited Washington D. C. I must have passed right by it because we went by all the embassies one day. Who woulda' thunk that I would have any ties to any of them two years later?

I'm having a hard time waiting right now, waiting on God. I want to know RIGHT now who our new children will be. I know God has the perfect children for our family, but I have to be patient until He reveals who they are to us. I've been that way with each pregnancy test too. I didn't really mind if I was pregnant or not, I just wanted to know!

I was able to hold my new grandniece this past weekend. My arms got tired from giving her a bottle. I breastfed mine, and I guess they're held a little lower, but with the bottle it seemed like I held her up higher, that's what her mother noticed anyways. My niece Nicole thought I needed practice feeding with a bottle so anytime she was hungry I got to hold her!

Aunt Vik & Samantha

 We had a family get-together at my father-in-laws house. His nephew Joe was in town from Kentucky. Joe is married to Vickie so the two Vickie/Vikki's  were able to meet! As you can see we look NOTHING alike!

Me & Jake at Christmas  (Isn't he handsome?)

The other night I went to watch two of my sons, Jake and Jesse, and my nephew, Josh, and their friends play an indoor soccer game. Jake was fouled on and went to retaliate. He got put in the box by the ref. I loved it! He got put in time out and I didn't have to put him there!!!!

I love this picture of Jesse, my 17yos. He's growing into quite the handsome and talented young man. He loves the piano and wants to pursue a music degree at San Diego Christian College in 2008.

I finished James' scarf last night. I'll take a picture later and post it. It's in denim blue and it's wool. I'll need to look at the label for all the particulars. I knitted one and purled one sixteen across. Not that he needs a wool scarf here in Southern California, but the idea that mom took time out of her day to make something for him just makes him smile!

I think I might make some scarves to take over to Ethiopia for some of the orphanage workers.

Have a great day! Make it count!!!
