Our adoption: 10 weeks

How Far Along: 10 weeks
How I'm feeling: excited and tired... very tired; and then newly excited again as I have a new niece!!!GenderGIRL!  
Total bills so far: $7962.89
Bills this week0
Ways God is working: Jemma's bunny made is easily to Helen, who shipped it to the orphanage!  Can't wait to hear that Jemma has it and maybe even get a picture of her with it!!!  

Things learned: That Jemma's middle name is also her great-great-grandmother's middle name!  My grandfather's mother's middle name was Josephine, too!  
Stuff we've done for the adoption this weekannounced Jemma's coming adoption on Facebook; one more paper signed and sent back to agency; home study was sent to Lifeline by our home study agency
What I am looking forward to: applying for immigration status; certifying our dossier; and then getting it sent off to China
Praying: that we could be DTC before Valentine's Day and that Jemma can come home before next summer

Pictures of the week:


Jemma's bunny was taken to China by Phil's boss - she sent these pics:

A co-worker of Phil's then took the bunny and had it shipped privately so it wouldn't have it's arms cut off (because of the batteries in it)

It was crazy hair night at AWANA this week:

Phoebe won the craziest hair!  

 Mommy flew to FL for her Grandpa's funeral - such a special time!






And my new baby niece, Lyla Jane, is perfect in every way - I don't have a picture to add to this week yet.
