Baby Jaba

Thank you everybody for your support! Here is a picture of Jaba taken in early June. Jaba is almost 6 months in this picture! She was born on Dec. 28th! :) We haven't decided on a name yet. I will definatly keep everybody up to date on the process. Hopefully, we will go to India to get her before the New Year!!! But like Tami said, we will expect the worst case which would mean we travel in Jan. or Feb. ?

I just can't beleive this day is here. To say yesterday was a special day is an understatement. I can't wait to meet her face to face! I have had so many dreams about a baby that I hoped was mine ...someday. Not long before getting a phonecall about Jaba I had a dream of a little girl who's face I could clearly see. She looked alot like Jaba. I know it sounds far fetched...but I know some of you will understand. There's more. I just don't want to spill all my guts right now. lol! I am just praying that Jaba stays healthy and continues to grow stronger. God Bless her!! I knew she was the one. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. To everyone who gets this post, remember life is waiting for you but only if you're ready to take the next leap(of faith)!

Goodnight.

Good News!

Hi everyone ! I know we I have'nt been online lately but I promise there is good cause. Besides, This summer has been sooo busy.
Bob and I were ready to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary today, and low and behold ...we got an email from Tami from Dillon !! We recieved an update on a 6 month old baby girl we have been considering for the past month. :) What a surprise and joy! I am so happy and scared at the same time to say that my hsband and I have accepted a referral of a baby girl named Jaba!! She is putting right along in her growth and development and she is really cute. We are of course keeping her close to our hearts that she stays well and keeps growing.
We will keep everyone posted. Hopefully someone going to the children's home soon will get some good pictures!! ;)Please say a prayer for Jaba!!
Good Night,
Seneca

Hey! I'm still alive!

I must apologize for getting so lazy with this blog and keeping in touch! Have had alot of distractions lately. Hoping the sun will be out for the whole weekend!! Memorial weekend was a blast, floating down the Buffalo River, camping and yes, eating SMORES! Mmmmmm!
Bob and I are now up to #5! I am getting more nervous with each step. I know we have a ways to go{feel a bit like a broken record} before meeting our child for the first time. I play that out in my head all the time! What an experience meeting and holding her will be!
We have my old toy chest fixed up and are trying to paint the room....can't decide on color. Summer is here, Thank god! Looking forward to bike rides and hiking, let's not forget all those cook outs!!
Love, Seneca :)

Great News...

Hi everyone! This past week, Bob and I found out we are now at #6 on the waiting list for our little babe!! I really appreciate the boost it gave me when I got that reply from Dillon. I wasn't expecting anything. :0) I am a little nervous, feeling like I am walking on a ledge sometimes with all this adoption excitement. I am still keeping all my fellow blog/adoption buddies in my prayers,daily. I am hoping now that the Cards are back on the field, I will be somewhat distracted from the worries, ha ha, yeah right!! This spring has been beautiful. When I see all the flowers coming up, and the seeds I have sowed sprouting, I think about our daughter to be. Where is she in her phase of life? How bright and new her face will be to me.....like a flower in full bloom.
Well, I will try to bring more pics and updates soon. Bye for now. Hope eveyone is having a great weekend. Looking forward to Easter!

Eight is Great!

Congrats to Maggie on getting your referral! I'm looking forward to seeing pics of another little precious baby. My prayers goes out to everyone; I hope the referals keep coming for everybody. This makes Bob and I #8! Bye for now:)

Fabric swatches....

These are some fabric swatches I hope to use in the baby's room.:) The vine and animal print is for the crib set or a chair and the stripe is for the trim/piping. The fuzzy trim is for a funky pillow or something. We found a good crib for a good price,but haven't bought it yet. I don't know about some of my other blogger buds who are adopting, but all the pics and news about babies soon to get home is driving me crazy!! Don't get me wrong, I am so happy for anyone who is going through this when they finally get to see and hold their new son or daughter!!I'm so glad you all share too. I am just feeling like time is going so slow, yet March is already here. How many more months for us...urrrr! All in all, I can't complain. Today I planted some lillies, the sun was shining...! I am ready for warmer weather, I miss working outside.
Maybe I have a little cabin fever..lol!
Bye for now, God Bless!!
