New Ollie Pics!!! (5 mos old)

My baby is getting SO big!!! Look at those cheeks! I'm still waiting for more pictures and maybe even video from Guatemala (the 1st batch of pics hasn't arrived yet)... so I'll be posting more soon. I'm just so thankful to have these.... :)

For my baby brother (with love, Sophie Lu)

............ I love you and miss you, sweet Ollie Baby!

Our photo with the newspaper & PGN announcement!

The day after Christmas, we had to make a trip to see Dr. Juarez (Sophie STILL can't stop talking about this wonderful man)... There was a stack of newspapers sitting on the table, so we took the opportunity to have our picture taken with one, as this is one of the requirements of the US Embassy. I think this may also be the last photo taken of Oliver with both Mommy and Daddy. We hope to be taking some new family photos very soon, as our agency let us know several weeks ago that Oliver's case is in PGN! We are so ready for him, and we just can't wait to be united with our precious baby boy! Sophie Lu talks about him every day.... every time she sees a baby, she exclaims, "Look Mommy, just like Ollie Baby!" And at bedtime, the first books she always wants me to read are those about being a big sister. Tonight, she asked me, "When Ollie Baby coming home, Mommy?" It was so sweet. We wonder the same thing, and we pray that he will be home very very soon. We are guessing that he will be coming home in a few months, and we know how very blessed we are to already have spent such special time with him.

*I just found a darling clip of Sophie Lu and Oliver from our time in Guatemala. I'll be posting it soon!

New photos coming soon (hopefully)

Our agency director is in Guatemala this week! She's said that she will be visiting all of the waiting babies with our agency, so we should receive new photos and video of Oliver very soon! I am so excited- this is just what we need to keep us going.... It's been 2 months since we've seen our precious boy, and we miss him so much! I'll post the new photos as soon as I get them- I can't wait! :)
