Reading Frenzy

Playing with Grandpa DeMaster- April 2009
They prefer playing in the bins instead of with the toys

I received these pictures from Nate's Mom, so I thought I would share them. I just completed my latest reading frenzy. I finished the last book in the Twilight series last night. My family just breathed a sigh of relief. No longer will I be trying to read every chance I get, at least until my next good book. It's funny how many adults I've talked to who are also reading the series. However, we're all slightly embarrassed to admit it.:)

We also received an update today on our adoption. We are number 11 on the waiting list! I don't know what to think. Our adoption worker kept saying, "I'm so excited for you guys." And I kept saying, "I'm just so surprised." There were 11 families that received referrals in the month of May, which is a really high number. It is HIGHLY unlikely that there will be that many in one month again. It's usually 2-3 families per month. So, it could still be September or later when we get our referral. It's just hard to predict. I just don't feel ready yet for our baby. I feel like a pregnant woman who suddenly realizes the baby is actually coming and doesn't feel prepared. I kept telling myself we'll have a couple of relaxing months between Cardale leaving and our new baby coming. And, most likely, we'll still have those months. However, the adoption is starting to seem very REAL right now. Exciting and scary. I'm so glad we can trust God with the timing of everything. He knows what is best for our family. So, keep us all in your prayers!
