Wow - It's a BOY!!!!

Dave stepped up to the plate and did what he does best!!!!  He chose our 7th child!!!!  YAY!!!!  It was not EASY at all!!!  We had chosen three beautiful children, 2 boys and 1 girl.  Everyone in the family had a favorite and so did our wonderful friend Christina and her family.  It is so HARD!!!  Dave felt strongly about one of the little boys and since he made the PERFECT choice with Belle, I wasn't going to stand in the way of perfection!!!!  So we are so HAPPY to share with all of you that we would like to bring home a little boy, he is three years old and his name is Michael on RR.  We would like to name him Gavin!!!!! 


Look at that SMILE???  Oh My!!!!!!

It is so crazy because I remember seeing Michael on the RR site over a year ago when we chose to bring Lyla home (same orphanage).  And like Belle when I would see her over and over again on the RR site- I never ever thought he would be part of our family.  Isn't it just amazing and crazy how things work out???  How both times we have adopted from EE one child led us to another????  We would never be adopting right now if it wasn't for Charlie - that is a FACT!!!  But she was chosen before we could get to her!!!  And really although it is soooooo painful we are so GRATEFUL that she has a FOREVER FAMILY now!!!  Because now 2 children get SAVED!!!!  It really is hard to fully grasp it all but the bottom line is this is:  HIS PLAN!!!!  And we will FOLLOW PROUDLY!!!!!

So today we started painting!!  Change of plans though, since I was sure we were adopting a little girl!!  We will now have Toy Story Bedding.  Tinkerbell bedding will be put aside for Sara and/or Belle.  Here is just a little preview of what is going on at our house this weekend:


Yep, We are Getting Ready for GAVIN!!!!!!!

  7. I have been praying alot for this little boy after seeing photos of him on another adoptive mom's blog. He is so precious and his smile melts my heart. I am so happy he has found a beautiful family to call his own.
