October Update

Our agency director is saying we will probably travel the last of November or first of December. We ordered our visa's and put our entry date as November 15. Visa's are good for 3 months after the entry date. We are praising God that we will have Sam home before Christmas! We sent him a care package through Blessed Kids. He received it October 1. In the package was some pictures of us in a soft "who loves baby" photo book.... so I guess he now knows what his mama and daddy look like!! We have not gotten our travel invitation, but I think it will come next week. We continued to be blessed by friends and family who are praying for all three of us. Last week we had friends Ted, Joetta, Shannon, Wayne, Renae, Jason, Debra, and Mike come over to our home. We prayed inside and outside our home in every room. We asked God to bless our home as we prepare to bring Sam home. It is comforting to know that our Savior is in control and present in our lives! We are also thankful to CrimeStopper Board of Directors who gave us a gift card from Toys R Us. We used it get Sam's car seat. Boy... that was job installing it in our car.. but it is there waiting for Sam... safe and secure.

Nick & Susan....We are doing the happy dance for you up here in Athens Alabama. We can't wait to follow along with you as you make your way to China to bring you Precious Sam home to his forever family. We check the blog page daily to see if there are any changes. We know that the faster that you bring Sam home that put us all the closer to bringing our Noah home. We are so grateful that we got to meet you when we were in our original group 41. It is a little odd that just a little less than 1 year ago we both thought that we would be brining little girls home one day. Just goes to show that it is all in God's plan. You are in our prayers daily as well as Sam. Ever morning and every night I say a prayer for all of our children that are still in China; Dear Lord please watch over these children and those that care for them. Please wrap your arms around them and give them a peace to know that their families will be there just as soon as they can. In Jesus most precious name! Amen.

God bless you all.
