Many Rivers to Cross

As the month has gone by and the paperwork is looming, I feel more and more overwhelmed. I know that this is all in the Lord's timing, but I am still a very anxious mama bear wondering where my little one is tonight. I pray that she knows that we are coming for her and that she is warm, fed and clothed tonight. My thoughts are with her often and I find the wait to know who she is and where she is at times unbearable. We ask for extra prayers this month as we work diligently to complete the paperwork that is necessary. I know that there are indeed many rivers to cross and that we are indeed prepared to cross each one.

Smells like Teen Spirit

Wow! Forget the fact that Aaron is now 13. Think for a moment that I am just not possibly old enough to have a teenager. Oh my word...13! I guess this is just a new phase in our lives and that I will just have to adjust my brain a little. Even though there is nothing different than yesterday, it just feels a little different. To celebrate, I threw Aaron a surprise birthday party on Saturday. I had invited a few of his friends from school and we walked over to play laser tag and blow a few dozen quarters on air hockey and such. The boys all ran home and took turns playing Rock Band. We went through 5 pizzas, 6 2-liters of soda, chips, pretzels, candy, cake and two ice creams. You gotta love growing boys!
