Merry Christmas!

Emerson Update

9 months old

Emerson had her 9 month appointment on December 12th--I'm a little late, but here are her growth stats:

Height: 28 inches (65th percentile)
Weight: 18 lbs. 3 oz (35th percentile)

She's tall and thin like her mama and daddy ;)

Emmy has been sick during the last several weeks and still isn't herself, so we are staying home for Christmas. We'll miss our Michigan family and hope to make it up in the next several weeks.

Trying not to jump the gun

BUT we have some exciting news :) I've been hesitant to share because it's not official, but it's close enough--at least we hope. We have been matched with a little boy in India!! CARA has "pre-approved" us and his child study is on the way to JOH. Once there, we can accept an official referral and the real wait begins! Our agency anticipates our referral to come in a few weeks!!

Justin and I got the phone call on November 21st. Lisa from JOH asked if we'd be interested in this little guy even though she wasn't able to see him while she was in India during her October trip. This meant she didn't have any updated information or photos of him. It didn't matter to us. We had actually inquired about this little guy months ago but were told that he had been matched with another family. So, when we got the opportunity to be matched with him, of course we said yes!!

God is so awesome. The last post I wrote, the one about how hard waiting is...was written on his birthday, November 13th. And now we have his little face in the frame that was meant just for him. Hopefully I'll be able to share his name and other information soon. Until then, please pray for a sweet little boy waiting for a family half way around the world.
