Sweet little Joshua...here we come!

We got our LOA today...official Letter of Acceptance

from China for adopting our little boy, Joshua!

That was our last big hurdle!

Now we are waiting to be assigned our travel dates,

and we should be on our way within 5-8 weeks!

We are SO EXCITED and SO GRATEFUL to our Lord

for continuing to pave the way to our little boy!

His foster mom told us that he can say one word in English...

"bear", referring to the stuffed bear we sent to him. :)

She also said that he is a very happy boy with a big smile on his face.

He likes trying new things and loves to talk with people.

Little Cutie-Pie

So, several days ago Braden and I took naps at the same time.

Guess who woke up first?

Yes...I awoke to a sticky little white face next to mine.

I would soon come to realize that

while I was still enjoying my snooze,

my little sweet pea was giving himself a facial

using an old tube of Desitin baby butt cream!

By bedtime, all was forgiven. :)
