Big sister's hippo is all finished. She will be so excited in the morning.

We were a family of three who grew our family through the process of open, domestic, transracial adoption. God has blessed us and we are thankful.
Big sister's hippo is all finished. She will be so excited in the morning.
I just finished this little guy for my little guy. Next up is a hippo for my little girl.
I'm pretty sure I won't be able to wipe the smile from my face for the rest of the day!Lunch time: Matt and I went to lunch and thought of a few questions we wanted to ask Lissa. We called her from the car in the parking lot and she answered all of our questions. We told her we most definitely want this baby! She told us that we are more than welcome to sleep on it and call her in the morning. We assured her that nothing would change overnight and we are matched!
It looks like we will be welcoming a baby boy into our hearts and home some time in July!I am so overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support we have received. Our family is so incredibly blessed!
In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.s7 And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?s10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;ss12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.s14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants. 1 Kings 3:5-15
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
