Wordless Wednesday- Where's the beef?

Guatemala Adoptions

Over the past few months I have been reading about, when and if Guatemala will reopen their adoptions. It seems as if they will open the adoptions again however the process may take a little longer (or more hoops to jump through) and there is not a time frame as to when they will reopen. I have negative and positive thoughts about the possible "new" adoption process. My positive thoughts are; make sure the baby was given up for adoption freely by birth mother, matching the DNA. My negative thoughts are; a longer waiting process, harder on the birth mother, lack time between birth mothers interviews, baby is in foster care longer. With that being said, I have a calling to adopt again from Guatemala. However, I do not want a large age difference between Carson and his sibling. I do not want to be an older woman adopting. I know its not about me, its about the Lord's timing. I am grateful I have Carson and he is healthy. But, I really want him to have a sibling from Guatemala.

Pre-winter blues

Thanks to all my fellow blogger friends for checking on me. I am sorry if I have not returned your emails or phone calls. For the past several years around the 'fall back time change' I have dealt with pre-winter blues. So needless to say, this year is no different. I have been trying very hard not to become blue, however, my mind can play some awful tricks on me. If I was not such a family girl, I would move some place warm and sunny year around.

Carson's new passion

Boy Payne

If I ask Carson what his name is- he says, "Boy".
If I ask Carson what his last name is- he says, "Peyne" (instead of Payne).
If I ask Carson where he is from, he says- "Gwamama" (instead of Guatemala).
Boy Peyne from Gwamama.

Please pray for Amazing Abby...

Abby was rushed to the hospital with a 103 temperture this afternoon. Please pray for Amazing Abby as her tiny body trys to fight off infections. Would you please join me in praying for Abby until she is healed from this terrible disease?

Why do I buy toys....

Carson loves to play in "the hole".

We are returning to Guatemala.

The second day in Guatemala Jonathan and I were planning our return trip to Guatemala. We both fell completely in love with the people and the beautiful country. We both felt so much peace, relaxation and joy from working with the children to walking on the streets. Consequently, we have now booked our next flight for early January so we can return to this amazing place. Anyone care to join us?

One more time...

Carson and I went to the wildwood boardwalk today after church for one last ride of the season. Carson had a great time riding the rides with his friends Carley and Joseph.













What a ham! hmmm- I love this boy!
