In our beginning....

We've been working on adopting for so long that I can't seem to remember when we started. We finally realized we needed to look internationally for our children. Lexi and Nathan were actually the very first profile we were presented. They just seemd to be ours from the very beginning.

Right now, Lexi is 2 and Nathan is 3 months. They are biological siblings. We're going to visit them on January 9th. Our tickets are booked and now we're just counting down. I guess that's the reason for the title on this blog. We're professional waiters at this point. That's what the adoption process does to prospective parents.

Some of the youth from our church are gathering donation items for us to take to the orphanage to help them meet their needs. This afternoon, my sweet neighbor brought us a case of baby formula. So very welcome and needed!

We're struggling to find clothing to take down for the children. It's just the wrong time of year in Utah to find summer children's clothing!

Brent's coworkers decided to hold a bake sale and raised over $350 for us to take to the orphanage. We're very blessed to have people willing to help and support us.
