As I sit here in my living room surrounded by a fire and the lights of the Christmas tree I can't help but think of a sweet baby girl who is turning 10 months old today. I woke up this morning with hopes of an update or new pictures but there were none. Hurry up and wait that is where we are right now. We did receive our LOA on Monday and for those of you who don't know adoption lingo an LOA is similar to gold! It was the document that we needed to be able to go on in the process. So needless to say we turned all the paperwork right around & overnighted everything to Texas on Tuesday so that immigration can do their thing. This is all very exhausting but I am comparing it to labor pains that you forget as soon as you hold that precious baby in your arms. So back to the question "What is our little Addison doing today?" I am picturing her warm, content and filled with a love in her heart that she cannot yet understand. You see Addison doesn't get to celebrate Christmas today because she is in a non-christian nation that does not recognize Christmas as a holiday so for Addison and many other children in China it is "just another day". Next year will be Addison's first Christmas and we will have one more little face around our tree. This year my family and I will be celebrating HOPE. Not only the HOPE that Jesus brings to us but the HOPE thru Him that we will bring to Addison.
Here are some pictures of all the latest happenings that have taken me away from blogging.
