Busy Happy days and lots going on.....

Since my last post I am just so thankful and grateful for all the abundance of blessings being poured into our lives. It is crazy busy and not a dull moment to spare. We have pushed through more documents and sent them off to our agency. We had our transition call on attachment and bonding with our agency which was very informative and helpful as we will transition with Jailyn into our forever family. In the midst of all the craziness I won $500 from the local parish and was pictured with a big check in their newsletter. I have been praying for abundance and it just keep showing up. God is providing all we need and I am so grateful. Mike spent the weekend in New York City on a man weekend. I was able to finally get some rest and spent alot of that $500 on Baby necessities, a me day of shopping and lunch with girlfriends and then a well deserved massage. Then Sunday was a great day. Katie, my mom and best friend Marcia did a huge baby shower. It was perfect. It was quite an emotional day filled with happiness and a long awaited baby shower that could finally happen. My eyes well up with tears thinking of that day and realizing that I have such a community of love and support from family and friends. Oh my stars has it been a journey. Lynelle shared in the day and we said we would support each other at our showers. We had made a pack not to do one until our daughters were here however we needed so much stuff to travel to China it became a necessity and the sooner the better. We were blessed with so many wonderful gifts. Thank you everyone who attended and sent gifts. Thank you cards are coming. Then Monday came and got those last docs notarized and then I was off to Lynelle's and Jeremy's baby shower and they were blessed with many wonderful gifts and an abundance of love and support from Lynelle's work. They are leaving Friday and I am so happy for them. They get their daughter from China on Monday!!!! Pray for their journey. Then Tuesday I had a big ole travel call with our agency on what to still do and all the details that lead up to travel. I see the light and know so much more has to be accomplished however get things off my list everyday. Not to mention having fun nesting with all the gifts and toys and gadgets we got from the baby shower. Thank goodness we purged alot so we had room to move in all the baby stuff. Mike said our Ranch house just is not big enough anymore. Guess building that new home in the next year or so is a good thing. Jailyn first then onto our new build. Two great things just happened. Our Letter of acceptance was had carried to Beijing to the Children's China Welfare Adoption Affairs Office so we are official with China that Jailyn is ours on paper. Woohoo!!!! It brings more happy tears to my eyes. Then today got confirmation the care package to Jailyn arrived at her orphanage and should be passed onto her and her foster mommy. Jailyn will see pictures of Mike and me, get a stuffed panda bear and blanket and chocolate and treats are for the foster mommy and family. We had a camera enclosed to take photos of Jailyn and her foster mommy. Hoping to receive that at her gotcha day. So we are moving forward. We can apply for our visa to travel in June. Still waiting on the Travel approval then we move on appts in China and then get to book travel. Lots going on.....I am going to attach some fun pictures pictures we took when the referral came in, the cake at the baby shower and the one of Jailyn I love so much with the twinkle in her eyes. Keep praying and getting closer every day! So happy!!!!
