These little toes belong to a very special little boy!! We are all so excited when we get our weekly update photos of Tarik. Tonight we were at the park when the e-mail came through. Todd and I looked at our handsome little guy and soak in every little bit of him and his surroundings. Then the kids came over and squealed with happiness to see their little bro. Praise the Lord for a healthy report this week!
This week we put up the crib! As you can see, the kids helped out as Todd assembled the crib, once again. This crib has been used for all the children and here it goes up a fifth time! We haven't quite narrowed down the nursery 'theme' or anything yet, but I just wanted to put the crib up already! It definitely makes the news of "a baby is coming" seem more real.
One month has past since our first news of little Tarik. We are happy for the communication that we have with our agency, and grateful for Tarik's good health reports over the past few weeks.
Continue to pray for the next set of paperwork to arrive to us here in the states from Ethiopia, so that we can move on in the process! Thanks so very much for all your prayers!!
Look how far we have come! Last year, at about this same time, we were starting our week 10 of waiting for a referral. I looked back at the blog posts (see here) and here was our verse for that week:
Week 10 verse: "The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?" Proverbs 20:24
Still very much a verse that the Lord speaks to my heart as we trust Him to continue to direct our steps!
