9 Weeks and Counting...

Well, one week ago we received our court date so only 9 more weeks to go! Yahoo...We have been busy, busy, busy this week. Mat has been working super crazy on remodeling the kids bathroom and getting Gracie's room ready for her. I LOVE her room. I hope she will love it to. We are praying for her everyday and hoping she stays healthy. One of the families with our agency has been in Ethiopia this week to pick their daughter up and had a chance to visit the orphanage where our daughter is. We are hoping they were able to get some new pictures of Gracie for us so we can see how well she is doing. Here are some pictures of her room. Let us know what you think. We still have some finishing touches to add, but we are really loving it.
Blessings and love to you all,
Mat and Stacey

PS, Hopefully my daughter will no bully yours, since she is large and in charge and yours is a petite little flower!
We have been laughing thinking how funny it will be if our duahget urns out to be a really big person, as the rest of us are pretty small! Can't wait to see the new pics! I hope we get new ones!

Stacey, her room is darling! I can not wait to see a picture of you in that rocking chair, rocking beautiful Miss Gracie! What do your boys think of her room? I am so excited to find out if we will be referred a boy or girl, or both(twins?) so we can start on the nursery, that will be a fun way to pass the wait time!
Miss you, Hugs,
Michelle

Her room is PRECIOUS! Great job!

We are praying you right through courts and straight for her new room!

Can't wait to hear you are on your way to get her Stacey!

Hang in there God's timing is PERFECT!

Hugs and love,

Hi Stacey, Melekamu was born with a massive head of hair and they shaved it all off right before we picked him up. I was very sad about it, especially since he still doesn't have much hair to speak of. However, he had several infected bedsores on the back of his head, so we would probably have had to have shaved it anyways. Another baby girl that came home as the same time as Melekamu had her head shaved as well and within a month had at least 2 inches of gorgeous curls! so you never know!

Stacey,
I love your post on my blog about the dream! I hope that is what happens, Who needs luggage. I will buy clothes in Ethiopia!! I only dream of adoption too. Sometimes it makes me CRAZY!!
Your family is beautiful. You gotta love those boys.. I have two bio boys and they are great!
Gracie's room is so cute you did a great job. Looking forward to hugging her for you and delivering her a package.
Hang in there for that courtdate.
