A New Gerandson

Today was a very special day! We have a new Grandson, Timothy was born 7lbs. 12oz. about 1:30 this afternoon. Allan and I went to see him this evening he and Mom are doing great. He is adorable if I do say so myself. Holly looked great and was feeling great. Zach is a very proud big brother and was loving holding Timothy! Justin is a proud Dad and got to litterally deliver Timothy with the guidence of the DR. Timothy has a headful of dark hair just like Daddy! I can't wait to see him and ciuddle him again soon! I will try to get some pics to post soon, I forgot to take my camara up to the hosptial.

Getting Ready for Vacation

As we are getting ready for vacation we ha some bad news yesterday. Someone got hold of Allan's debit card number and made themselves a card and charged up over $1500 with it. We now can not use his card till he gets a new one in the next two weeks. It is so frustrating and makes you feel totally violated. We have been stoeln from. It was all done in Georgia. We are thankful that we had money in our savings account and that we had already taken out cash for the trip. We also have a credit card that we can use. God always watches out for us! Anyway we are so looking forward to our trip to Disney World. We will spend the first four night at Disney and the last three nights on a Disney cruise. We hope for no hurricanes! This is our trip to celebrate our 25 years of marriage. God has always been at the center of our marriage and we are thankful for that and blessed by that. If it had not been for God we may not have made it together for 25 years. We have had many up and downs but God has brought us through it all and we know that HE alwasy will. We pray together almost every ight together berfore we go to bed and I treasure that time we have together each night. I thank God for blessing me with the wonderful husband that he gave me in Allan!

We have progress!

As of yesterday we have an assigned worker for the adoption. Our worker is in Nashville and she will be working to get us a worker here in Jackson. So we are now waiting to here from our worker here in Jackson. The lady in Nashville is so very excited that ewe are interested in adopting an older child. We are so glad to have someone that is so excited! So hopefully things will start rolling soon! I will keep you updated as all begins to roll!

Still Waiting!!

Just an update as to where we are in our adoption plans! We were suppose to hear from our local contact to get the adoption process rolling last week Wednesday. Well we have heard nothing. I e-mailed that lady on Friday and again today. I plan to continue to e-mail her daily Mon.-Fri. till we hear from her. It is frustrating that we have to do that but sometimes when it comes down to it if you do not push you get no where unfotunatly. Please continue to pray with us! Thanks!

Allan and I are only 13 days away form our 25th anniversary trip to Disney World and we are very excited about that trip. We are so ready to get away for a whole week just the two of us! We will have four nights at Disney and three nights on a Disney cruise! We love Disney!

I am sad

Well I just found out that Nikkie has been chosen for anothr family and we will ot be getting her. It is sad as we had our heart set on her already! Please pray that God will now lead us to just he right child for us.

Adoption!!!

We are going to be adding a new member to our family! Yes we are going to be adopting an older child soon...hopefully! Allan and I have even picked out a girl that we found online, she is 14 and very cute. We have applied and are waiting for a local person to contact us about getting the process started. We know very little about Nikkie at this time. We know she is here in TN, she is 14 and that she is adoptable. I have wanted to adopt for many years now however I always wanted to adopt a small child and Allan has always wanted to adopt an older child. In the last few weeks God impressed upon me that we are to adopt an older child. We are very excited about this prospect. We told Jennifer and Andrew on Sat. and they took it very well. We are also in the process of working on adding another bedroom to our home for our new daughter. As most of you know I was adopted and I also placed a daughter for adoption 27 years ago and I have always wanted to adopt to complete the triad. So it looks like God is now going to bless that wish and desire in my life. For the last year or so I have not felt like I am done being a Mom and have been praying for god to show me what He has for me. I now know and I am so very excited to know that soon I will have a new daughter to be a Mom to. I will be here for her when she comes home from school, I will be here for her when she needs a Mom to talk to I will be here to be her Mom and to just love her. Anyway please pray with us as we take this giant step and continue to follow God's leading.

Long Time!

It has been a long time since I have been here. I am doing much better. No job at this time. Just hard to find a job at this time. I keep myself busy anyway.

My follow up visit with the DR after my surgery went well. The DR was only able to drain the cysts due to the fact that I have a lot of scar tissue from previous surgeries. To remove the cysts he would have had to open me up and I wouls have been in the hospital for 4-5 days. I go back to the DR for an ultrasound in Nov. to see if the cysts are refilling, if so then I will have to have the surgery to clean me all out and that does not sound like fun. So many prayers are needed that the cysts will not be refilling!

September 17th my hubby (Al) and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary. Our daughter and son (Jennifer and Andrew) are giving us a party on Sept. 20th. We are very excited! Al and I will go on a three night Disney cruise and four nights in Disney World after in October. We are looking forward to that time together.

Our adopted Grandson (Zach) had his 4th birthday just last week. We went to his birthday party and had a great time. He was so excited! I conintue to get him about once a week for the day and just have fun playing! He is such a sweet guy. His parents are wonderful and we love Holy and Justin to pieces too!

I think that is pretty much the update for now!

Love to all, Margie (Margaret)
