Well we still have no news but we are thankful that we have seen her sweet face and pray for her daily and know that one day soon we will put her in our arms! We are truly thankful for friends and family that continue to pray for us, pray for Emery and ask about her regularly! I think the whole town will hear us cheer and celebrate when we get our LOA! It has been forever (atleast it seems like it to us)! We are so ready to move forward! But with this day of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for our sweet new daughter and pray we have her to her forever home soon!!!! And what a Thanksgiving we will have next year:)
Love,
Renee

Still Waiting
10/29/2011
Well, we are still waiting for news on our LOA and that next step to our daughter! We have been trying to stay busy (which isn't hard with 3 children) and make the time pass a little quicker! We have finished the girls room since I blogged last! We got a new chest and put cute polk-a-dot knobs on it and have things ready for her arrival! Today I packed up her 3rd package! We sure do hope that she is getting them and that the clothes are fitting and that she is loving the new toys!!!! Other than this there hasn't been very much going on with the process of getting her here! We are in a yahoo group the posts info about their process and there have been several LOA's and several TA's the last 2 weeks, so hopefully ours will be soon!
I think that's all the news here! Here's a few pics of her package that we will be mailing Monday! Please continue to pray that things will move along a little quicker! We were sure hoping to have her home by Christmas but it's not looking like that will happen! We have faith that God has the perfect time, so we are trying to be patient!!!
Love,
Renee

Working on Their Room
10/2/11
We did a little work on Allie and Emery's room today! Allie's curtains in her room had her initials on them, so we decided to redo one window and put Emery's initials on it and have her dust ruffle on her bed match the one on Allie's bed. So once again my friend Terri monogrammed the curtain and my mother in law redid the curtain and made the dust ruffle! She had made Allie's bedding already! So today she brought the curtain over and Tony hung it and tonight Tony and I put the bed together and put the bed skirt on it! It is so cute! I will get some pictures made and post soon!!!! Just have a few things to move around and get ready!
Yesterday Allie and I went shopping and we picked up a few things to send over to Emery! I got it all washed and packed up tonight so that Tony can go mail it tomorrow!!! I put a little brown and pink long john set in there, some bibs, socks and toys!!!! Hopefully we will be able to see her soon!!!!!!!
I will let you know if there is anything new!!!
Thanks for the prayers!

God is Great
9/28/11
I received a message on facebook from someone that I didn't know at all that simply said they had heard that we were adopting and thought that we may be at about the same place in our adoptions. A long story short, we ended up talking and they live less than a mile from us, their new daughter is two days younger than Emery, she is from the same Provience and they are using the same agency as us! Only God could work this out! We were so excited to talk and know that our daughters will have each other to grow up with! And that we will be able to support each other through this process! We look forward to getting to know them and feel blessed to have them so close! It would be wonderful if we ended up getting to travel together! And we are really close in the process!!!! God is SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!

Ups and Downs
9/22/11
Well I finished getting everything together and ready to send Emery a package! Terri monogrammed her a "silky" with her Chinese name on it, I sent some clothes, toys, disposable camera and a photo book!!! I was so excited to have it all together and send it to her! Tony took it this morning, so it's on its way to her! She will finally know her forever family is coming for her! This is our up for the day!!! Then later in the day I emailed the agency to ask about how long LOA's are taking and they told me 3-4 months, I almost cried! I really hoped to travel in 3-4 months! To say I was disappointed is an understatement!!!! I need all prayer warriors to pray that things will continue to move quick and that we will have our daughter home really soon! This of course is our down for the day!!!! I know God has the perfect time for us, but I sure wish He would let us in on it!!!!
Love,

Her Bed is In
9/7/2011
Her baby bed is in. So Blaine, Allie and I went to pick it up. My mother-in-law is going to make a dust ruffle to match Allie's for it, so we aren't going to put it together until we have that ready. And she is going to redo one curtain in their room. The curtains in Allie's room have her initials on them, so we are going to change one set to Emery's initials. I can't wait to get all that together!!!! I will post pics when we are finished!!!!
Thanks for all the prayers! They are working. Now we are praying that our LOA comes in soon!!!! I would LOVE to have her home for Christmas!!!!!

More Questions
9/6/2011
I called Sarah today with more questions. I needed to be sure we could post about her and I had a few questions about the immigration paperwork. And then I wanted to see exactly what we could send her in her package. This will let her know that her forever family is coming to get her!!! She gave me some great ideas and also told me that we may want to buy two of some things so that if we don't get them back that we will have a match to it. She also told me to make them smell like us so that she could get use to our smell. I can't wait to shop for her! I already know of a few things that I want to send. Anything I send had to fit into a shoe box. We may be sending several boxes! Hee heeee......They will be requesting an update on her. There are no guarantees that we will get one but they are asking.
