We are still smiling, crying, laughing and high-fiving over our beautiful son Easton!!!!! Today Ryan played "Everlasting God" on his guitar as we danced around and sung the lyrics!!! It's our adoption theme song! Come on, you know you want to sing along with us, "Strength will rise as we Wait upon the Lord, Wait upon the Lord, we will Wait upon the Lord" We are just 2 happy parents dreaming of the day we hold Easton in our arms!
Here is our first care package!!! Everything has to fit in one ziplock bag. We are sending it to a family who will be traveling to Ethiopia next week for their child's court date. We have also asked the family to take pictures and video of our baby! We can't wait to see more images of him!!! Ohhh, his eyes and smile!!! I need more of him!!!!! =)
As we happily wait, we are nesting!!! Here are some pictures of Easton's room, we hope he loves it!

*Hey Bex~ we ordered the bedding from JC Penny's and then matched the teal color at Home Depot. Sorry but I don't know the name of the color!
*The globe was a precious gift from a friend. She got it from Crate and Barrel's kids store....(I can't remember the name of it....) Yes, it does light up!!! It'll be his night light! The room looks precious with it glowing. Oh yay, the store name is Land of Nod!

LOVE the room, where did you find the funky decal? I've been looking for something to spice up my kids room. Really excited for your family!
Just started reading your blog. My husband and I are waiting in MN for our little Ethiopian face. Glad to hear you got your referral! Your room is beautiful. :)

Thanks for all the love everyone!!!! Amazing things are happening for our family! We are both dreaming of the day we hold Easton!!!!
*Glowing Hearts- We painted the tree on the wall, it's not a decal. I am a teacher and used an old-school overhead projector and transparency to trace the tree and then paint it!!!
