Christmas in July?

Before we know it Santa will be here and our boy will be ready!

Kell has a Christmas stocking ready to be hung by the chimney with care.  Thankfully, Ballard rarely changes their designs and I could get him one in the set we already have.  Otherwise, there would have to be six new stockings so we all match...just not in the budget this year!  We are thinking positively about the process...he WILL be home for Christmas!  Please, please, please!

What a great time to arrive.  He'll get to hear the greatest story from the very beginning!  December 25 Kell will attend his first birthday party in his new country.  A new country, a new family, and most importantly, on his way to new life in Christ.  What an honor for our family!

We've all agreed that it's the most important thing we can teach Kell.  So before any ABCs and 123s there will be Jesus and prayer and Bible.  I'm betting it's the first thing he hears because his mommy will be thanking Jesus out loud when I get my hands on that baby!!

Can't wait to share the love!  "Because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ..."  Ephesians 2:4-5.  That's the "riches" we have to share with our boy...God's mercy, love, and saving grace.
