well it's official....

Stephens adoption was final yesterday!!  woohoo!!

 

go God and go God and go God and GO GOD!!!

 

 

so for a celebratory dinner my boy picked

(a place where you can throw peanuts on the ground)

Logan's  Roadhouse!

 

 

the peanuts were so entertaining for Stevie, Gracie and Erik :)

 

so... as history has shown (and you all well know)...

after all God sized victories...

soon comes a ginormous enemy attack.

 

today has certainly been filled with them:

all kinds of complications, frustrations and irritations...

concerning travel, dates, costs, and official stuff!

 

however we know that our God has it under control...

we do not doubt that AT ALL! 



my prayer is that the girls know and believe it too!!

 

Gracie asked today "could someone else get the girls" 

Uhhhh, No!! 

all the official matching is done.

now it is just a matter of getting the pieces worked out to

get our adoption hearing set and travel plans finalized. 

 

i can only imagine if Gracie is confused...

how confused must Chloe and Emily be??

please be praying for them and thier hearts,

and all of ours as well!!

 

we do not believe we are going to get to spend

Christmas with them after all!

 

we know that God is handling the details...

and i'm sure we will get a memo soon :)

 

thanks for sticking with us on this journey,

we couldn't do it without you!!
