This morning proved to be a chaotic one around here...after double checking weather.com I decided to take the chickens outside in the back yard to enjoy the day for a bit (have a mentioned we got chickens? Yes...me...the anti pet, clean freak has CHICKENS in the basement...I am growing or something) I got them all outside and came back in to get dinner in the crock pot while I watched them out the back window and it began to POUR buckets of rain. The chickens were all over, and it is well known that I am tentative about the chickens...the kids desperately wanted them, Howard wanted them, and I know I need to let go and let the kids experience these things, so we are giving chicken raising a shot, but chicken WRANGLING was not something I imagined for myself! :) But here I was running all over in the pouring rain catching chickens and putting them in a Rubbermaid bin to get them back to their cozy pen in the basement. I came in, soaking wet, put the chickens in the pen and the phone rang...
It was Jacob's "hopsital" as Hope so adorably calls it. Jacob is getting out next week! He is doing awesome and they are ready for me to come and get him!
Needless to say, next week I will be traveling to Arizona to get our son! I am overwhelmed, excited and well, just in awe of all God has done here. I don't know specifics yet as I am waiting for a phone call Monday to confirm everything but I know God is in the details and he will orchestrate this all perfectly! Would you all pray!? We are planning to spend the weekend getting things ready for his arrival! I know the next few weeks and beyond are going to be trying, but I KNOW God has got this. Jacob is going to have a lot of adjusting to do as are we, but we are over the MOON excited and would be so honored if you would join us in praying for all of the details! Thank you all SO much for your continued support, love, and prayers! EEEK! Our family is growing again!

Arizona! Wow, that's where we are! I've been following for a while but never left a comment, so nice to hear you'll be in my hometown! What part will you be visiting and I can give you suggestions....dining, etc.
Yay to your son finally coming home. If you don't mind me asking, I was wondering who has been taking care of him? I know he has been in the hospital, but has his birth mother been with him or just the staff?
I remember your blog about praying right in the moment, rather than later, so I just said a little prayer for your transition.
Good luck and congratulations!
His birth mom has been spending time with him and a wonderful volunteer, a retired man who has snuggled him! :) Headed out to meet him TOMORROW!
Wow, this is so exiting. Praying that the traveling goes smooth and that he transitions well into your home. God bless!
I've been away from your blog for sometime but it seems like you are doing very well. Congrats on the adoption of your newest son. How old is he? I can't wait to see pictures of him. You are one very strong lady! Good luck to Jacob and your family on a safe travel to and from AZ.
