GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
EXTRA ! EXTRA ! READ ALL ABOUT IT ......

We have our Consulate Date/appointment. We are set for 11/30/06 at 9:30 am. This means we should be making flight arrangements THIS AFTERNOON. Looks like we will have an extended stay due to the late date for the appointment. We should leave on 11/17/06 and return on 12/2/06. We still do not have our I824 form stating we can bring home a baby over 18 months old, we hope that comes today or tomorrow. Anyway PARTY TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Please pray for the children and families still going through the waiting process. I was sadden this morning as I read that there may not be any referrals for the month of October. These families are going through a nightmare of waiting and if it had been one month earlier it could have been us. Pray that the Lord comfort them as they wait and that the children are cared for during the wait.

"There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and
I thank god for all the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair;
"Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
In all that I've done wrong I know I must have done something right
to deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night.
Sweet 16 today She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, Daddy,
But if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
to deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly.
Spread your wings and fly.
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said
"I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over...gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk my down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry!"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right.
To deserve your love every morning and butterfly kisses-I
couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go,
but I'll always remember every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses."

I Love you Christy !!!
