I've finally came to admit it as much as I really hate to....
It is Fall!
The weather is cooler and the sky is filled with large fall clouds. Leaves are starting to change and fall off of trees. I do not like it one bit.
For those of you who know me know I am 100% a summer girl. I LOVE summer! I love everything about it; swimming on hot summer days, going to water slide parks, watching the kids catch fireflies, the longer days and cookouts. It is my favorite time of the year.
If I had it my way it would be summer all year round. I always tell Jeff that I need to live someplace tropical but he quickly reminds me how much I dislike bugs and tells me how much bigger they are in tropical areas then I quickly change my mind.
BUT this year I am actually looking forward to Fall...Why you may be wondering? Well, because as time marches by and seasons change we are getting closer and closer to Meiya. Each passing day brings us a day closer to our precious little girl half way around this big beautiful world God created!
So I say Welcome Fall!!! Hurry up Winter! (Yes, I just said that) We are ready to get on that big plane and travel to our daughter and bring her home.
For those not familiar with adoption acronyms LID stands for Logged In Date! This means that Ch*na has our Dossier and they have logged it in their system. Now we are officially waiting for official approval from Ch*na to adopt Meiya! This approval is called LOA =Letter of Acceptance. This is the BIG wait! This is the BIG document from Ch*na that can take several weeks to months to get. Most people travel about 3 months AFTER they get LOA! So you can see why we are praying for a FAST LOA! We know it is all in God's perfect timing and we are trusting in Him during our wait to see us through. In the meantime we will continue to fund raise, nest and prepare for our new daughter!

"These bars of goat milk soap are handmade by the Jonas Family. Every bar contains an ounce of raw goat milk fresh from their farm. This gives each and every bar a creamy goodness your skin will love. The goat milk soap bars are hand cut to weigh between 5 and 6 ounces and are cured for a minimum 6 weeks. Every piece is unique in appearance, size, and color. Your soap will come in a 4" x 6" cotton bag that is hand-stamped with the scent. This cotton bag is friendlier to the environment than plastic and lets your soap breathe.
You will love these sweet smelling, long lasting, bubbly bars of soap." - Jonas Family These soaps rinse clean, leaving your skin clean, silky smooth and very soft! They have become quite popular lately and they make excellent gifts for anyone for any occasion. Ingredients: Raw goat milk; Saponified natural fats, coconut oil, soy bean oil; Natural color, Fragrance.
