Gotta LOVE Pink and Court dates!

Yes, you read that right. We officially have our court date for Ms. Gracie. It is April 29th and we are THRILLED. The way things have been going we thought we would be getting a court date in May. But God is so good and we are in April. If we pass on the first time, we will hopefully be traveling at the end of May or first week of June. We are busying ourselves with all sorts of projects and lots of entertaining. I know that if I am not kept busy; the waiting time will be even harder. Mat started the upstairs kids bathroom remodel and also Gracie's room. I have been doing a very good job of instructing! We also had a bunch of families over last night for an Ethiopian adoption get together from our agency. One family who is in the process was driving through Denver and wanted to meet some of the Colorado families. It was a really fun time and I love seeing the kiddos who have come home. It helps give us the ability to "see the light at the end of the tunnel." Enjoy the pictures!




Don't you just love the color pink? My wonderful husband said he was "seeing spots" while in the midst of painting!






The valentine get together becoming instant friends and leaning on one another during these hard times. Thank you all for coming and sharing the evening and letting us "waiters" ask away...

May everyone rest in His presence today.
Blessings and Love,
Stacey

Wahoooooo!!!! So happy to see yoru court date OFFICIALLY posted!
I am pretty sure that Little Miss Sunshine is at the same orphanage as Gracie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are totally hanging out, I am sure. Gracie is showing her the ropes. And maybe they are hugging on each other. I am so pumped for you guys! The end is in sight and I am seeing some serious PINK in your house!
So jealous we cannto come to CO and hang out with other ET fams with IAN. We have a great group a few hours from here is ET kids so that is going to be great also.
Much Love!

Hey Stacey, thanks so much for having us over last weekend. We had a really great time and Liam keeps talking about all the amazing stuff in your basement! We will definately have to do it again sometime. I heard they just got a new judge for the adoption cases in ET, so maybe your court date will even get moved up!
