We saw Aiden today!!

We saw our son today and it was a very good day!  Aiden came in with his Grandma and sister and definitely recognized us.  It was obvious that his Grandma Marilyn had been talking a lot about us.....such a blessing.  We spent nearly 2 hours together with the social worker and then another 30 minutes together after the social worker had left.  Aiden most certainly connected with Dave right away, but no so much to me.  Were my feelings a little hurt?  Sure.  However, we knew that this may happen due to the many "mommy" changes in his life, but we will persevere and through the power of God's presence and prayer this too will change quickly.  Aiden is very happy and very comfortable with us.

Tomorrow the three of us will go out by ourselves and then Aiden will spend the night with us.  If all goes well...and it will.....He will officially be united with us on Saturday.

Thank you for all the prayers!!

Tomorrow is the big day!!

Well, our travels yesterday were uneventful and it was actually very relaxing to drive.  We had one hang up when we were looking for a hotel room at 1 AM, but we found one and a had good nights sleep.   We went down for breakfast and I have never had such hospitality at breakfast as we did here in Louisiana.  I think we have about 5 hours left before we hit Austin, TX today.  We will be seeing Aiden tomorrow!

I will post pictures of our son tomorrow!!  Lots of love to you all!!

We are heading to Texas!!

We are about to leave in a few minutes to drive to Texas and get our son!!  I would say meet him, but we already did that during our life in China together.  We will keep you all update and hopefully will be posting pictures and video.  Aiden has lots of family and friends anxiously awaiting his arrival in Florida.  Please pray for a supernatural process through the interstate in TX.  Once they give us the clearance we can leave and come home. We are praying for clearance on Friday or the latest Monday.  Thank you for agreeing with us.

We are excited!!  

Practicing Photography

Two of my little sisters were the subject of a practice photo shoot. The sharpness of the colors don't come through to well on this blog.You can double click on a picture to enlarge it.  I still have much to learn.  I am more comfortable photographing anything that doesn't involve people.  Haha!   I have another photo shoot schedule on the 14th with my parents. Taking new shots for their website and media purposes.  Pray for me!

Interviews going on today in Texas

Well, our social worker is finally doing at least one interview we know of with the couple from Texas regarding Aiden. We hope she got the second interview scheduled, but we will know more by Monday.  We are waiting patiently, BUT truly hoping to have a game plan of when we can travel by Monday or Tuesday.

On a side note, we purchase Loving Your Kids on Purpose by Danny Silk.  Highly recommended by Aiden's foster mom and dad in China.  We have watched only the introduction session and we like it.  I'll let you know more as we go through the entire series.
