Lazy Sunday

My brother, Larry, and my future traveling buddy to Ethiopia.
Good morning blog friends. It is a cool wet morning here in Charlotte and I am taking time to do a little update. Last week, the guy in charge of the adoption agency in St. Louis left to go to Addis Ababa to see what is going on. The word is that the 10 court dates that were given did not pass. Not sure about all of the details.


I did get a few more pics of Yoseph on the Snapfish account that our group goes to. Does anyone know why they take photos of them naked? I feel a little weird printing these off at Walgreens, but I want to get all the photos of him that I can get. He is now 6 months old and I want to be able to document his growth. Not looking forward to making eye contact at the photo counter this morning.


I am so thankful for all of the blessings that God has poured out on me. I have parent/teacher conferences in the next few days and I am taking time to write comments on my kids today. God has blessed me with a great class this year. Being a teacher is one of the best jobs out there. I love my class!


I had dinner with my classroom moms last Monday night and it was great visiting and getting to know each mom. The subject came up about what started me on this process of adoption. When I think about it, I guess it all started 7 years ago when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. God had a plan all along for Yoseph to come into my life. I just needed to be open and willing to the idea. It is neat to look back and see how God works in our life. His plans are so much better for us then ours.


God is good!
