Monroe Zoo

Dad is going to get his education on for the next few days, so we had some family time today. Corbin was crazy running hollering excited. William was scared of all the sounds till almost the end. Towards the end he got down and talked to the ducks. Allison was more than happy to NOT be doing schoolwork. Lol...
Day 14 of our wait for I800 approval. Today is good for me (:

In Case You Haven't Seen Him

Weekend Fun

Three boys ready to go to Pop's church for some candy...

William has Bri wrapped around his finger...

Ready, Set, GOOOOOO...

He got one orange and NO CANDY the entire night...(he did NOT get that from his Mama)I had peanut butter snickers.

Admiring his orange...

I love this man with all my heart. I mean seriously how can you NOT love these baby blue eyes. Thank you for loving me just the way I am.

Stopped long enough for a quick smile....he had way to much to do.

These are the cutest little boots I've ever seen.

Wen and His Broom

Here is my boy and his broom...I love him!!!

We are waiting on our I800 approval. I know that means nothing to most of you. BUT, to me it means we are so close to getting our babies. PLEASE please pray that the paperwork is quick and we can spend Christmas in CHINA!!!

This Beautiful Baby

I'm not even sure where to begin. I saw this baby girl's face several months ago on the blog of a mother that has birthed and adopted quite a few babies. She was advocating for Miss Julianna because she needs a family. Last week I came across her picture again on a different blog. This precious baby is still waiting for a family. I can't stop thinking about the fact that she will spend Thanksgiving and Christmas without a forever family, and possibly next Thanksgiving and Christmas too. What's even worse to me is that she will have her third heart surgery without a family to love her through it and pray for her. She is two years old and has a serious heart defect. She will require surgery and continued care of a cardiologist. But, I believe this won't stop her from playing dress-up, giving kisses, dreaming big, and becoming someone's baby girl. Please help me pray for Miss Julianna's forever family to find her.

Please email me if you are interested in this sweet baby girl. brianmelissasmith@yahoo.com

*WARNING*More Cuteness Than You Can Handle

Just so you know I do NOT NOT NOT take these pictures for granted. Most of the time parents get two to three pics the entire time they wait to bring their babies home. I have 8 or 10 in the past three days. I CHERISH these. I want so badly to hold my little man. By the look on his face he is completely loved and content with his nannies. BUT, this mama is ready to hold him. He needs footie pjs, trucks, puppy dogs, HIS mama, HIS big sister, possibly HIS daddy(hehe), chocolate (wait that's me), Christmas with US, and so much love. I just can't wait to see him laugh and hold him while he cries and grieves for the only family he ever knew. Oh, to see him run with our boys here and play in the mud.
God today I just pray for your protection of our Wen and please prepare his little baby heart for a new family. Please keep me sane while I fill out more paperwork and know that all the while I just want to get on a plane and GO. We know that you have orchestrated this time before we breathed our first breath. Please help me understand your timing and thank you for this season in our lives. Amen

Can you not hear him laughing outloud??? It's time to go get our babies....

Good Morning Wen

Let me just tell you what this does for a Mama's heart on a Sunday morning. I'm going to be late for Sunday school. Thank you Jesus for pictures of our baby boy. Now can we go??? PLEASE....

Looks like he is quite HAPPY and content!!!

Oh my the cuteness factor is huge!

Snacks YUMMMMM

Looks like he is telling this man where he wants to go...

Awwww he is smiling!
