NEW POST!

Hey all!
It's been a LONG time since I posted something on this blog. I was just reading over it, and noticed that the last post was on November 9th. It talked about how we were still waiting for that call that a birthmom had chosen us. Well, the very next day, our Samuel John was born. I don't care to tell the whole story because it's Samuel's story, that he will need to know someday, and I wish to keep that private. However, I will tell you, that Samuel was born on Wednesday, November 10th, and we picked him up from the hospital on Saturday, November 13th. We were notified that Friday that his birth-mom had chosen us as parents, and we could pick him up from the hospital Saturday at 4 pm. Talk about shock! I was fortunate enough to have an awesome sister-in-law, Tracy come and help me set up, as well as my mom :) We worked all morning to get the house "baby ready". Bottles were filled, clothes washed and folded, swing and pack and play set up, changing area filled with diapers and wipes! Samuel has been such a blessing to us! I am hesitant to put any photos up until our "final court date" (this month or next month) but, once that's done, I will post pics and use this as a "scrap book of sorts! For now, I will just tell you that he's so stinkin' adorable, and being a parent is the BEST! God sure is funny sometimes, isn't he? ALL IN HIS TIMING!
