Blessed again!!!! (Pic Heavy)

We feel so blessed that our sweet girl is at the reception center because we get so many pictures of her from wonderful families that go over to Korea to get their bundles of joy. Wanted to share with you our newest pictures.


The reception center. Sorry if they are small they didn't save right and I don't know how to fix it.


Lennon's bed with our pictures and bunny rabbit we sent over to her.


Her bed and a wonderful caregiver that takes GREAT care of our baby girl.

Isn't she so sweet?????

I love this one because she is crying and a great friend Charla sent us some AMAZING pictures and I love this one. I just want to snatch her up and love on her. Hurry home sweetie!!!

Her hands and feet.

She loves her some caregivers. They must be just amazing because she looks so happy. We are so blessed knowing she is loved and taken care of. Thank you Lord!!!

Getting some love from another caregiver. How sweet. I can't wait to kiss on those cheeks.

And my favorite. I love that face!!!!!!!!!!! I believe you have to be the cutest thing ever. We love you sweet girl. Mom, Dad, and Big Bro Jiles

Missing Lennon

Today I thought of our sweet angel so much. I wonder what she is doing right now.... hopefully sleeping and dreaming about us. I pray she is doing well, being loved on, growing and learning. I miss her so much. I find myself day dreaming about her and what it will be like when she gets home.

These are things I can't wait to do with her when she gets here:

1. Hug and kiss on her.

2. Tell her she has a mommy, daddy, and big brother that has loved her for so long.

3. Give her a bath and get her all ready with a cute outfit and hair bow in that hair. I know....but I have waited my whole life to have a baby girl to put bows in her hair.

4. Rock her to sleep.

5. Stare at her and kiss on her some more.

6. Tell her a bedtime story.

7. Have daddy sing to her.

8. Let big bro Jiles play with her.

9. Make her laugh and smile.

10. Show her off to everyone. BUT........................

The biggest of them all is.....PRAISE my Lord that she is home, safe and sound in our arms. That will be day of REJOICING.

I miss her so much. I pray our I-600 comes this week and the process keeps moving quickly. I want her to come home soon. I am praying hard that August is our month. Please pray with us.

We miss you sweet baby girl and love you so much, Mommy, Daddy, and Jiles

Summer....Here we come and WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Ok so since being off of school now for almost two weeks we have had VBS and I have had Mono.....so NO fun so far. BUT tomorrow we are going to the YMCA pool and swimming. I will take pics to put up for the blog. Summer we love you and are so glad you came to visit.

Update: We found out today that Holt-Korea has sent off for Lennon's Emigration Permit. Just one step closer to her coming home. We are waiting still for her I-600 approval which should be here any day. Hopefully tomorrow. Then the EP will take another couple of weeks or so. We are getting closer each day. We have been working hard on her room and getting Jiles done as well. I CAN'T wait to show them both off to you. Sooooo cute!!!!

Ok so I can't leave with out a pic. WHAT DO YOU THINK? So do you remember this cute little girl's picture I had on here when I was dieing to see sweet Lennon's face? Well................

Don't you think they look a lot alike????? I think God knew all along what my angel would look like and he gave me little hints along the way. So neat. I love how even the hairs on our head are counted. Why do we worry about the little things??? God has it all under control. Thank you Lord, I love knowing you have ever little detail worked out.

Have a blessed Wednesday, Rhea Anne

Our CHUNKY Bunny and her Stuff!!!

Look at those cheeks and those rolls on her arms... I can't wait to get my hands on our sweet angel. I loved that Holt sent these pictures today for us. I knew they usually send a picture of your child getting their care package and this one meant a lot for me today. Jiles loved seeing his picture with his Daddy in his baby sister's hands. I have been really sick this week and this made my day. I found out today I have MONO... yes I said that MONO. I am 30 and this year I have had the FLU and now MONO. I felt like I was about to die on Wednesday. I can't handle 103.5 temps for very long. Thank you God for making me feel better today and for this special gift of our baby girl with all her stuff. I loved the second picture. This is her new version of smiling. That is what a friend told me that just got back. "When she smiles she has a cute little pucker." That is so funny and so true. I hope to get our I-600 approval today or Monday. Keep praying. I want her home!!!!! Also pray for our friends Kristi and Will as Kristi and her sister Kelly travel to get their baby Lucy Lane from Ethiopia. I know they are super excited. Can't wait to see pictures of their "Gotcha Day." Check out her website http://www.weloveourlucy.blogspot.com/

Blessings to you all, Rhea Anne

A Few More!!!

These are a few more from Holt we got today as well. WOW...what a great Tuesday. I hope to hear something about our I-600 this week or the beginning of next. Pray with us. I love that laugh she has going on in the second picture. Too cute!!! Hurry home baby girl... we love you!!

Adoption Yard Sale Update: The yard sale was a huge success. Thanks to some GREAT friends for donating their stuff, time, and also their buying. We made around $700.00!!!!! We were super grateful to our Lord, family, and friends for their support. You guys ROCK!!!

We are so blessed... another picture. :)

In case you are wondering why we get so many pictures of Lennon it is because she is still at the reception center. When others go over there and get their precious baby I give them her information and they send GREAT pictures of our baby girl. This usually doesn't happen in Korea because most babies have a foster family but our Lennon is still at the reception center and will be there until she comes home to us. (There was a shortage of foster families and since she is matched they will leave her there.)I loved this picture because it is one of the outfits we sent her over. I am so blessed.... I can't wait until she is home.

Here she is with her cute piggy tails and that shirt is the one up at the top of our care package picture. How sweet....thank you so much to my Holt friends that give me these precious gifts of my little girl. Her room is coming along. I will post pictures after it is finished. Have a blessed Tuesday,
