With all the craziness that comes with a new school year, I haven't had much time to update the blog. Avery's in 3K and Cooper is in 1st grade this year. Time is getting away from me and it is hard to believe my babies are in real school. :) With time ticking away it makes it a little easier knowing Ella's homecoming is getting closer. The week before school started we were able to send her a care package of goodies. We sent special need bottles, liquid vitamins, two little outfits, a few toys and lovies, a blanket, and a photo book of our family. We tried our best to find the correct translation for mother, father, brother, and sister and label it so that her care givers would be able to share it with her. We also sent a letter to our lifeline worker to translate for us which contained a few questions asking for additional information on our sweet girl. Hopefully we will get a response this month but there is not a guarantee. This box was a little piece of home and we tried to cram as much in it as we could. I would have mailed myself if I thought I could get past customs.
A friend shared this amazing organization with me called Love Without Boundaries. I contacted them and they have sent my sweet little girl special formula and rice cereal! YAY!! What a blessing! They contacted the orphanage and asked what she specifically needed and made it work. No payments or questions asked. I am so thankful for this organization and I pray that God richly blesses them. They work off of donations and we have contributed to help cover the cost. If you feel led check out there website. They are truly helping and defending the fatherless.
On a sad note. We haven't heard any new information. We are in the Waiting Place again... It still looks like January when we will bring her home. Please join us in prayer that we get a Christmas Miracle and get to have our little gift home for the holidays. Her birthday is in January as well and we would love to be able to celebrate her 2nd birthday as a family. :)
