Almost Here

Well, Christmas is almost here...less than 3 days away.  No news on the adoption at this point, we are still waiting on DNA.  I won't even go into all that.  Please just pray for DNA to be done quick and smooth.  Thank You. 

We have been busy making and delivering candy and cookies and other treats.  My grandmother always did that...well she delivered food to people year round but especially at Christmas. I was able to catch on to some of her recipes and I like to carry that on.  It makes me think of her and the fun times we had making stuff.  I have to say she was much more patient with me than I am with my kids.  Maybe it was a grandmother thing..? 
I have a busy day in Owensboro tomorrow, going to do some last minute stuff and maybe meet up with a friend or two.  We have Christmas at my Mom's on Thursday and then Steven's Mom's Thursday night.  Friday is breakfast at my house and lunch at my Grandmother's.  Then we leave early Saturday morning to go visit out of town friends and family.  My fam was complaining about not having recent pics of the kids so I tried to take some here at home....guess what their getting for Christmas.....

DNA is on it's way. We hope.

We received an e-mail on Friday stating that DNA testing had resumed in Haiti as of Thursday, and our case would be made priority as we have already paid and been waiting.

This is great news considering I had already decided that they probably wouldn't restart testing until the first of the year.  It has been proven once again that God is in control of this thing and just when I think it is impossible, he makes it happen.  Oh ye of little faith....  Now, what does this mean for us-well-Paxton and his birth parents will have to come to an appointment for the testing to be done at the Embassy in Haiti, after that is done it will be sent to the U.S. to be processed and the results will be sent back to Haiti.  Once the results are recorded in Haiti there will be an appointment for Paxton's visa approval and as soon as they get that we can go get him.  I'm pretty sure that's how it will go...... This picture is his December update, I can't wait to grow out that hair.  Mom needs to go shopping for a cute hat for him to make his first U.S. appearance in-it's gonna be cold here on that bald head!
