We had a special party for Shepherd tonight. It's his birthday, so we had to celebrate. More importantly, we prayed, prayed, prayed:
For Shepherd's health and well being
That he would feel special today, his birthday
That our paperwork would get finalized so that we can go at the end of May
I got some beautiful pictures of our prayer time. I don't usually do this, but I wanted, for all of us, a reminder of our prayers to show Shepherd one day.
We also had cookies with icing and a couple of gifts. Shepherd got a car and a swim noodle!
Hadley had "Baby Shepherd" there to represent her brother. You can see "him" in the pictures.
Happy Birthday, Shepherd!

What an incredible faith lesson you are building into your little girl! How precious. We are praying--and can't wait to visualize what our hearts already hold.
Very sweet!
I know you've talked about fundraising for this adoption. My friend, Gwen, has adopted 2 girls from China and hopes to adopt siblings from Africa in the future. She has lots of friends who have adopted and/or are in the process of adopting, and she mentioned a fundraiser on her blog that I thought was really neat and thought I'd pass that along to you guys. It's a Girl's Night Out fundraiser. Check it out at her blog at www.oatsvallteam.blogspot.com
