A Super Fun Surprise!

So tonight Dan and I got home from dog park with Jersey and "Other Dog" (who we still have) and Dan brought in a present that was sitting on our porch.  I saw that the gift bag spelled out "BABY" on the outside and immediately thought, "Oh no!  Somebody accidentally left a gift for the wrong family on our porch."  Then I read the note inside the bag and saw that it was for US!  It was our first baby gift from a very thoughtful neighbor who has been following our story and lifting us up in prayer through our adoption journey.  How amazingly fun is that!!!  Ginny you rock - and your thoughtfulness absolutely made our day!  I can't stop smiling.  =)

I want to publicly say thank you to our friends and family (and our blogger friends too) for praying for us and walking with us through this amazing journey.  I chose early on to be very open about our adoption plans for many reasons but especially because I knew I didn't want us to go through this alone.  Your encouraging words, advice, bible verses, book recommendations, song recommendations, etc. have played an important role in where we are today.  I know there may yet be difficulties ahead but I am really glad I have you all to share this with!  To God be the glory for blessing us with 4 baby embies and such wonderful family and friends!
