Can you believe that our little boy is now 2 months old? Even though he is not here yet, it is important that we celebrate his birthday.
This morning, I went running at 5:00 with our friend Jeff. I think that it must have worn me out, because when I came home I fell asleep. Flat Reed and Mommy must have thought it was cute to take a picture of me all snuggled up with my favorite blanket.
Just an oddity. Tonight I placed my glass of tea on the end table near Abbey. I looked at it a few minutes later and only the ice was left. I thought Abbey had finished it off for me, that's not really unusual. However, when Abbey looked over, the table (which has a lip on it) was FULL of tea. Apparently my glass cracked somehow. We heard a pop, but we didn't know where it came from.
Now, for a birthday prayer.
Father in Heaven,
Watch over my little boy. Be with him and help him to know that hundreds of people are praying for his union with us. Help him to feel the love that his mom and dad have for him, which is more than we ever realized was possible. God, keep him safe as he goes throughout his daily routine. Give him sweet sleep and days full of laughter. Help him to be a joy to those around him that he is to us. Father, we pray for his foster parents that they would be able to show our little Reed some of the love which we plan to give him. Be with the Taiwanese government, help them to work quickly and accurately on our papers so that Reed can be home with his family soon. We thank you, honor you, bless you, and praise you for this amazing gift which you have given us. Your grace is amazing and your love is more abundant than we can ever comprehend.
In Your precious son Jesus' name,
Amen

HAPPY 2-MONTH BIRTHDAY, REED. We look forward to your arrival home soon! Hope you're exercising your legs and keeping in good shape like Daddy so that you and Aunt Ava can reach the ceiling when you start jumping on the bed at your house.
Wow! I really get a kick out of following through Flat Reed's days! My husband won't let us adopt any more kids (something about us being too old and tired and broke!), but, maybe I could get a flat baby of my own!....

I just found your blog through who-knows-where. We're adopting from Taiwan and sometimes I just follow link after link after link. Hope you don't mind. Congratulations on your referral!
As I was reading the archives, it looks like you guys are in my neck of the woods. Are you in Springfield? We have friends that live up there, and we live in Williamson County. Anyway, rarely are there TN folks adopting from Taiwan, so I had to give a shout "hello"!
We just finished our home study and will get on the Families for Children waiting list next week, most likely.
