A little of this and that

We are SO close to sending our dossier into BCS for it to submitted for review and translation.  Literally we have to mail two things tomorrow and I pray we are good to go!  I might throw a party :)  We started this process last year on January 25 with an informational meeting after sending in our preliminary application...so it has taken us a year to get to this point...partly because life is busy and partly because it is just a tedious process!  So excited to almost be WAITING for our child!!  Right now the wait times are 8-14 mths.  Pray for us that things happen a little quicker than that!

I just had gall bladder surgery last Friday and recovering pretty well.  Hard with little ones that bounce around on you.  Other than that...not much is new.  Just living life and thankful for every day with each other...even when it's chaos.

http://www.nogreaterjoymom.com/2012/02/if-not-usthen-who.html  This is a blog that i like to read, but that i can't hardly bear to look at or read today because of how disheartening the topic is, but i can't turn my back to it either.  I feel strongly that once we SEE and KNOW, we can't pretend we don't know.  It takes action, but it is very hard to figure out what we can do and how we can make a difference - but we CAN make a difference; through prayer, mission trips, donations, educating others and on and on...there are ways.  I'm trying to figure out HOW i can make something happen.  Something to think about.

Happy Days :)
