Happy Birthday Jeff

Today is Jeff's 35th birthday! Talk about a great birthday gift.... we received some wonderful pictures and an update about Ty.

The families that are part of the orphanage Yahoo group are just amazing! They do what they call "Pay It Forward". Each time a family makes an orphanage visit they take pictures for all of the waiting families. What a wonderful gift and blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of you have asked when we will travel, etc.......
Well, we are still waiting on Travel Approval. We THINK that travel will be the end of March.
For some that have just started to follow our blog..... Jeff is traveling with his dad. I am staying at home with Lily. This was NOT an easy decision by any means but one that we feel was an answer to prayers.

Here is a little update from the dear mother that took the picture below.....
Now... can I describe your little man a bit.... he is irresistible!!! He "fought" for my full attention while I was there... he climbed, made noise, laughed, blinked his eyes, smiled... and finally climbed out of the crib! He is a teeny tiny little thing and I could just love on him all day!!! And cute... oh my goodness... he is cute and what is so funny... he KNOWS it!!!! He uses that cute little "head tilt" and finger in his mouth with a grin....

He couldn't be any cuter! I just want to love on him too!! He will have lots of fun on the airplane with Grandpa Ed. I can just see it now...Grandpa will be telling him about all the things they can do during the summer on the gator, etc. hehehe

Lily may be the only one in the family who can overlook this expression on Ty's face and go ahead with a "timeout". Great birthday gift for Jeff to see his son as he looks today!

Love, Aunt Maxine

Sounds like Ty is going to be quite the charmer. I keep waiting to see you post that you have TA! Should be soon. I saw someone who got their LOA a week before you and just got TA yesterday.

HAPPY B-DAY JEFF!!!

Dan, Je, and the girls

Happy Birthday Jeff! I'm in tears reading the comments about your son. What a gift to have any piece of pre-adoption info on our children. It sounds like Ty is more than ready for love and attention from his forever family. The "charmer" description is exactly how the nannies described Lauren...and it is so true! Can't wait to see him in his mommies arms!!!!!!!!!!
