Today was a good day in my book. Our Seminoles won the ACC basketball tournament for the first time ever. We were lucky enough to be able to watch it online. For those of you who know Matt and I well, you know that we bleed Garnet and Gold ;) We definitely plan on passing that pride onto our son, lucky him :) In other news, Mike survived his shots last Wednesday. He actually only had one shot with six vaccines in it. I was glad it was only one shot and his reaction was not too bad. It upset his stomach but that was the worst of it, we are grateful for that. I can now share with you that Michael is an avid crawler as well. He is into everything and his favorite thing to do is try and stand.
We got to Skype with Matt this weekend and that was our real highlight of our weekend. His command has been very good with keeping up to date with Matt, about his "family" being stuck in Colombia. We are very lucky they have been so understanding. We heard last week that our paperwork has made it to the second part of the court process with three steps total. We hope to hear more good news this week.
I have faith that there is a "purpose" for us being here this long, we might not ever know what that is, but God's ways are greater than ours. My brother mentioned admiring our perseverance. The Bible has the following verse regarding that topic:
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58
We never knew for sure if this was God's plan for our lives, but we had Faith that adoption was put into our hearts for a reason. When I look at Michael I know that he was meant to be ours from the start. God had a plan when he created him and he is now on "loan" to us to love and nurture. As Christians our paths won't always be easy but God will be by our side every step of the way. Thank you for continually supporting us as we continue this journey.
Love,
The three of us :)
And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

Congrats to your team. We watched of it and I thought of you while Duke and FSU went at it. I was hoping for a different outcome but I'm glad they beat Carolina on Saturday and that they took the championship home, they deserved it :-) We are still praying for you and I cant wait for you to get back. Thanks for keeping us informed with this blog, it has been helpful to keep everyone informed as they ask me. Take Care and have a great week!
