Hello! September is here and tomorrow Drew starts K-garten! We can hardly believe our boy is growing so quickly! His best buddy, Liam (pictured), and two of his cousins, Abby & Luke, all start K-garten today. They're all growing up!
Yesterday we got a wonderful video of Carrie! It was taken the same time as our most recent photos and showed such a better picture of her! Her sweet face has me completely melting!! She has 8 teeth and is getting a few more. She is a good sleeper! She is still on formula, but is eating cooked fruits and vegetables and chicken. Carrie is still serious, but apparently will laugh and smile when something is funny enough. That's good news!! Her hair looks so much smoother than in the photos, too! And then there's the walking attempts. Her foster mother holds her hands and little Cat stands and shuffles her feet to walk! It's so cute and she looks so proud of herself. That was our favorite part of the video! She's going to be moving around the house so much more than Drew did when he came home. I could leave him in one spot and know that he wasn't going to get more than a foot away from that spot.... she's going to be a different story!!! :)
Prayer Requests:
1) An OUT from PGN this month, that is the news we're really hoping to hear!
2) A ready and willing escort at the time that Carrie's documents are finalized so that we don't have to wait longer!
3) Safety for Carrie as she continues to grow and develop! Things are a little crazy down there right now and our foster mothers aren't always safe while venturing out with our children. Pray for that situation in general as well as the election taking place in G. on 9/9 (I believe that's the date).
3) Safety for us as we vacation in Disney. We need the break and the family time! Dan hasn't had any real time off since last October.
4) A positive experience for Drew in Kindergarten: that he'll be kind with his words and gentle with his hands!
Thanks, friends! We are so grateful for you!! Please let us know that you visited and share your prayer requests with us!!

I hope Drew LOVES school! I'm sure it's difficult to see him begin this new stage, but how proud he must be of himself!
I wish you could upload your video...I would love to see her first steps.
Thank you for reminding me through your post that there are small victories to celebrate (even if there is a much more pressing one we're waiting for...)

I pray that Drew has a wonderful first day of school... I know that he will have such a fun time.
I pray that you soon receive the out call that you have waited so long for.
I pray that God's hand of protection be over Carrie and her foster family during this difficult time.
Most importantly, I pray for you my friend... that you find peace during this wait and that your precious daughter is in your forever arms very soon.
God Bless~
