Big Brown Eyes

Baby M has about the biggest brown eyes I have ever seen, and this is saying a lot since I read MANY ET adoption blogs and many beautiful children have big brown eyes. They are so beautiful and so deep!

Two weeks ago our lives changed forever and these eyes have captivated us ever since! On referral day I actually could not take my eyes off his face (via photo) long enough to watch the start of the NFL season! For the first time ever I can say I have watched almost no football two weeks into the season. I have, however, stared into my little mans big brown eyes!

I spent much of Sunday on Snapfish looking for photos of Baby M. His big brown eyes give him away quite quickly. After MANY hours I found over 50 photos of him on snapfish! Today I was able to print off more photos and even frame a few. I am excited to hang them up tonight so I can see them on the wall each day!

Today I was able to send our welcome bag to our agency. Our welcome bag contained Froggy, who you can read about HERE, a little all in one outfit size 9 months (will it fit?), a photo album that he can drool on, and some chewing toys. Many photos have been taken with his fingers in his mouth, so I am guessing he is teething. We were able to get Baby M's name sewn into Froggy this week so everyone who cares for Baby M will know who the frog belongs to. I took several photos of the welcome bag which I will post soon. Brandon took a photo of me with the little clothes on my tummy so we will have an idea of our big Baby M is as we see a photo of him in it! I sure hope someone can deliver this bag soon!

We still have heard nothing about court dates, but the courts open next week, I think, so maybe we will hear soon. I am still committed to waiting to call until October 8th, (two weeks from tomorrow) but praying that we hear something before that time!

Our ministries are in full swing and life is busy, but blessed! Yesterday was a day of great joy! For the first time in a long time I had the opportunity to minister out of my gifting! What a blessing it is to serve in this way!

The nursery is almost done! We have guests coming for the weekend so the timing will be perfect!

I am hoping to go on a posting spree next Monday and attempt to get my September cooking recipes up to date! This is a lofty goal, but I am going to try!

I better get back to those big brown eyes... after I fold some clothes!
