With weeks of sickness in our house recently, I did not have the chance to take our 1 month waiting photo of our family - so this photo will have to do! (1 month waiting since our log in date - February 28, 2013)
Aidan spent a day admitted to the hospital a couple weeks ago following a tummy bug - dehydration earns Aidan a hospital admission every time! When I opened his door on the peds floor of the hospital, I saw the most beautiful artwork on the wall directly across from his door.
I sent a text to a friend asking, "Is it a coincidence that this is the artwork outside Aidan's hospital room?" Her quick response, "Absolutely not!"
I'm in awe of the little things God places in my path on a daily/weekly basis. What a comfort to see a panda (from China) hanging in my view when I least expected it. How special to receive a phone call from a dear friend who has experienced her own unique journey this year - her first statement was concern for me, "you've been on my heart - how are things going with Emma?" God's timing is perfect each and every day.
As we approach our 2 month waiting date (March 30, 2013), I'm reminded that we've been waiting for our third child for 2.5 years. So waiting 2 months is a brief moment of this journey. What a story we have to share with Emma - she will never wonder if she was wanted - we will travel around the world just to meet her - we already love her to China and back!
