You guys are too cute. Congrats on making it to month 3! You are getting closer every day! I cannot wait to hear the good news about Baby Easton!!! :-) Praying for you today!
OOOHHH......you are getting CLOSER with each new day! You have SO been on my heart with all the movement in our YG! Your name will be alongside a post stating that you received your pictures of Easton soon.....I just feel it! :o) Enjoy your Chunky Monkey tonight, knowing that someday soon you will be able to eat that with your son in your arms! Best to you, Debb
Thanks Debb and Bex! I appreciate your support and prayers!!! I keep seeing our theme song, "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord!!"
Have a great weekend, Ashlie

Ahh Shannon, I want to live vicariously through the families who have their referrals and traveling to bring their children home! This time is really hard to wait but I have heard that waiting for court dates and travel dates are almost unbearable!! Not looking forward to that....
Hopefully you will be DTE soon!!
Praying, Ashlie
