In cleaning our shed. Brian was able to get a couple of days off and we are diving in (this is day 3). We already had too much stuff, desperately needed to de-clutter and clean the sheds anyway, but now we're trying to proactively make room for the belongings of the new kids. That's still not definite, but things seem to keep moving forward, and we are hopeful. And it sounds like they are coming with a LOT of posessions - toys, books, clothes, bikes, etc. Because of the nature of their past, we'll need to keep it all for quite a long time.
My blog (and several other things) are getting somewhat neglected in the meantime, but that's necessary right now. When we know something more certain about the pending adoption, I will share, but in the meantime, prayers are appreciated as always. Specifically:
- That a meeting our agency director has regarding this case on Tuesday will go well.
- That we will get to read the children's full records VERY SOON so we can make the final decision.
- That God's will will be accomplished for our family and in the lives of these children.
- That God would comfort the family that has them now as they prepare to say goodbye.
In other news... it looks like the case with baby R could take a turn, and adopting her may be a real possibilty, as well. Things are getting exciting around here! Off to make my hubby an iced mocha and get back to cleaning that shed!
Exciting is right! I love hearing all this news and will be praying. And mmmm... an iced mocha. I think I'll make one for myself. Do you guys use toddy? If so, what kind of coffee do you use for it? We love toddy but haven't been able to find the right blend so far.

Oh my goodness, if you don't adopt that precious girl, I will! :) I will be praying for your list.
