Thanks for the Divine nudge....

God must have known we needed a little ray of hope for baby Joe! We have been submitted to family court. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This part ususally takes anywhere from 6-12 weeks. We don't have DNA auth, yet and that could end up delaying us. The good news is that we had some sort of movement. Today, I am on one of those roller coaster high hills! So, thanks God, for the little Divine nudge from above! I'll just warn, ya, I may ask for a few more along the way.

Little bummed...

I checked, My FTIA - our site that tells us of exciting updates with Joe's adoption, but no new news. I am pretty heartbroken. I am now wishing that even have DNA authorization prior to Christmas, but no real indication either way.

To digress, I was really hoping to be past this stage by now and moving onward to something like Family Court so that we could enter the dreaded PGN in the dreaded winter months. Anyway, I do trust God's timing, and understand that Joe will come home in his timeline. I just think our attorney in Guatemala needs a little Divine nudge from above. Can I pray for that?

One more post...

Pfewww...the thanksgiving holiday is wrapping up! We had lunch at Dan's parents today to celebrate with the Stoll family. It is a big bunch and it was only the ones from this area. We had a yummy lunch that centered around the ham that Grandma Jean fought for at the store (funny story). We took Dan's famous chocolate dessert and spinach and herb dip, must have been good, they are gone!

I figured I better post again now, as it will be a busy week again. One of these day, my work weeks won't seem so hectic, I will have to figure out the madness. I will leave you with these precious pics of my men dressed for the bitter cold days we are having...
