We're in Love...WITH WHO!?!??!

Anyone who has spent time with our kiddos lately knows how much they talk about their sister.  They have been talking about their "sister" for over six months now!  It's so engraved in their hearts that we had to buy toothpaste for her, already have her pillow picked out, and already have her seat at the dinner table called for.  Ayla talks about her sister the most...probably because she cannot wait to share her room!!!  She is often asking us questions and will randomly say, "When my sister comes, there won't be more boys anymore." (meaning more boys than girls in our family). 

Eli's heart has been changed through this process.  He has always been our soft hearted child and cares so much about others! At the young age of 5 1/2 his heart is HUGE for orphans!  He talks about his sister too, but even more often talks about orphans and prays for children who are living without a mommy or daddy. 

Last night as the snow was blowing outside, Bobby took time to do some paperwork, the kiddos were busy playing,  and I sat down to read a book on the couch.  Out of nowhere Ayla decided to sing a song for her sister.   Luckily I happened to have my phone on the couch and was able to catch her (and her brothers) in action! 


I CANNOT WAIT until we can have a face and name for our daughter/sister!  Our love for her is sooooo huge, and I know it's only going to grow stronger as we can see her sweet face and meet her!  Please pray with us that we get the call soon....for the past month now I've thought we'd get the call by March 1st....I'm still hoping;) 

Love from our family to yours!
