So much to be thankful for!

Hi everyone! We had a great Thanksgiving. Probably the best ever. Benjamin was so much fun and is beginning to understand being thankful too. It was a great time with family. It was hard to believe that as Nate and I were talking we realized that the next Thanksgiving will include a new Hill in the family. We should have a baby by next year at this time and it will totally change everything....yay!!!!!
Please keep praying for the birthmom and our baby. She has such a difficult decision to make. We haven't heard anything so far but we expect God to connect us with the right mom and baby. Nate and I have dreamed of this baby and have seen "him" . In each of our dreams we saw a boy. Don't know if that is because we only know "boy" things or what but I guess we'll just see what God has in store! Thank you for your words of encouragement! Feel free to comment...hint, hint. I love to hear from you!

We are a waiting family!

Finally on the website!

It snowed enough today to cause school to be cancelled!!! Whoo-hooo!! We had a family day and it was so nice! We, however, did not have enough snow to even throw a snowball............. but it is still early in the year!
This week we finally made it onto the agency's waiting families list. We really don't know how many moms have seen our profile yet but we have faith that just the right mom will see us and feel a connection. Thank you all for praying for us even when my blogs haven't been very frequent lately. News has just slowed down on the adoption since now we are just waiting. We have chosen names for the baby ----maybe I'll post these later and we have picked out colors for the nursery too. As we head into the holidays I am hopeful that the best present we could receive is the addition to our family. What a precious time we would have. God knows the timing though so we wait patiently.
Pray for the birth mom and our little one!!

Is it November 16th?

Not that the date is significant but wow where did this month go already? We have been so busy which I guess is to be expected as we enter the holidays. I don't have an update to offer except that we know the agency has our profile book and will show it any opportunity they have. I suppose this is the hardest part...the waiting but I guess for us it doesn't feel much different than what we have been doing for almost 5 years. As you know, we began trying to conceive again right after Benjamin was born and he will be 5 in a few months. We feel we have the waiting scene figured out:)
Anyway, here lately Benjamin has been the one with the "baby bug". He sees babies and says, "Oh look at the baby!!!" It's funny because just as we were about to find out we were actually pregnant with Benjamin years ago we kept getting little signs. On Friday, we received a sample of Pampers in the mail. Why in the world we would receive diapers I can't guess so we are taking it as another sign!! Laugh if you will but we are going to hold on to that hope!

THE HOME STUDY REPORT!!

It's November! So hard to believe! We had a great weekend and Benjamin got to trick or treat with his cousin. We got some great pics of them together and our neighborhood was very safe with all the super heroes running around!!! Today we got 2 very important reports. The first being Benjamin's first report card and the second was our home study report. EVERYONE PASSED!!!!

What a great day!

Please pray for the birthmother and our baby. We are closer now than ever!
