Our week.

This last week, Joey and I have been feeling ill. It started Saturday morning. Joey woke up covered in, well, for lack of a better word, poopies! Head to toe yuckies!! I threw Joey into the shower and scrubbed him down. We got dressed and went downstairs and he threw-up on the floor. The poor little guy didn't know what was happening. He said "Mama, what was that." I told that him that sometimes when we're sick, our belly wants to be empty so we throw-up. He said "Mama, I'm sorry. Clean it up!"

So, we've spent our week cuddling on the couch. Needless to say, we've watched a lot of T.V. Yesterday when Joey woke up, there was a blue sock on the floor of his bedroom. He said, "a clue, a clue!" (from the T.V. show Blues Clues). When I told him that it was only a sock, he was majorly disappointed.

A few nights ago, I was cooking dinner. Joey was watching T.V. and started using the controls. He shut off the t.v. and came running into the kitchen. He said, "Mama, T.V. is broken." I said, "How did that happen?" He said, "Joey broke the T.V." I said, "Oh no, what are we going to do?" He grabbed my hand and said "Mama, Pray! Dear God, please fix T.V. Amen" He cracks me up!

In other news, the baby that we got the call on last week went home with another family. Please keep this little guy, his birth parents and his forever family! While we were disappointed that this baby was not our son, we are encouraged because we know that the Lord is going to bring our little boy or little girl home to us really soon!

Homestudy approved and other news

Well, I got a call from our social worker today stating that our homestudy report was officially approved, so we are officially waiting now! And... our profile will be showed to a birth family either tomorrow or Tuesday of next week. The baby is a little boy that was born on Valentine's day. We are both nervous and exited. I don't know if this is our baby, Joey's baby brother or if our only purpose is to pray for this baby and his birth parents. Either way, I'm praising the Lord for his plan and for making us aware of this situation so we could be aware of it.

God certainly is good! Whether or not it is us, I know He has a family for this baby and that He is in total control.
