Mama has been fixing up a room forLittle B :-) Today is Papa's birthday, and all of us were home . . . if Little B were here, we'd be a perfect dozen :-) Chris called this evening and we prayed together over the phone. I sat in the rocking chair in Little B's room and prayed that one day he'd be wrapped up in my arms and I'd rock him to sleep . . . cuddled up in our love.

Waiting . . .

September has been a month of just WAITING . . . . and paperwork . . . . and WAITING . . . and paperwork . . . and WAITING some more. There is a delay in the paperwork process because one of the doctors offering his services pro bono just got married and is on a two week honeymoon. We are waiting for him to return so the paperwork can continue.

Here we are in September with Marina, our student from Spain who is with us for three weeks :-)
