Look how big I am sitting in my walker!



Cole is 7 months in these pictures and it is so fun to see him sitting up! Jynger returned from Vietnam and we were very excited to get new pictures. Unfortunately, our paperwork has not made as much progress as our son has! It is still waiting to go to Hanoi (hopefully next week), so we are most likely looking at late April/early May before we will be able to leave. We are SO disappointed, but know that God has a perfect plan for our lives. Sweet Dusty was giving us some encouragement today and really said it best that we need to take peace in knowing that every time we wish we were feeding them He makes sure they are fed, every time we pray they are happy He tickles them, and every time we want to hug them God hugs them for us. Ok, I cry every time I read that! Hopefully we will have some more consistent updates as our paperwork begins its journey over the next two months.

I'm glad you have new photos to hold onto during this tough time. And I hope the G&R is closer than you think!

He was the sweetest today. Of course I did tear up, then my friend came in and asked what was wrong, so I read it to her...and cried like a baby. He sure hit the nail on the head. While I am still a little sad, those words did help a lot! Cole looks great! Love you guys.

Thanks again Dusty!! You made me laugh and cry. Cole is beautiful and soon all the Can Tho boys will be in our arms.

I'm so happy you received new photos! Cole looks so adorable and very healthy and happy, too. :) But I am sorry you didn't get news of provincial approval. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

He looks awesome! He is so loved there and here! I was so sad for you girls - have been there with disappointing news- and somehow, despite the aching, you pull through it. There really is a light at the end of the tunnel. But, it's ok to cry along the way. :)

This part is SO HARD! You just want your baby! He IS adorable! I can't wait to hear you have travel and he is HOME.

I love his new picture! He is the most precious boy I have ever seen...and I am not just bias. :) Can't wait for the little guy to get here. His girlfriend is waiting! They are going to have so much fun playing together.

Boy! Cole sure is growing! That is great! Take comfort in knowing he is being well taken care of. Although the wait is hard, think of the joy you will feel when you bring him home! Just remember... soon Cole will not only be in your heart but also in your arms!!
