2 + 1 = 3 (YAY)

It's Monday night....our birth mom, Katie's, timeline to change her mind has expired....so Jones is now a part of our family. We are still waiting for the paperwork to go through, so we can leave Virginia...but we have cleared the first hurdle!

We have spent some time with Katie today. First, we went to Jones' doctor appointment for his jaundice. We got good news that his level dropped from 14.1 to 9.7. The doc was happy about that. He has requested that we follow up on Jones' bump on his head when we get back to Arkansas. So we will keep an eye on that! After the doctor appointment, we went to Panera for lunch. Then when we got back to the hotel Travis talked to Katie about college. After that we went shopping. ;) Then tonight Katie's aunt and cousins came to visit the baby at the hotel. It was a very busy day!

Overall, we are feeling so blessed!! We love this sweet baby boy! Travis and I have had the most wonderful 9 1/2 years of marriage. I don't think I could say anything was ever missing....however now that we have Jones, our family is a new kind of "complete"! And as for Katie...she brings a new light into our lives as well. I truly believe that God designed this arrangement, prayer after prayer and tear after tear....I now see the method behind his madness. ;)

Ok, so now we are just waiting for "those papers" to go through and the "all clear" to head back to Arkansas!!

We are very excited to show Jones off to all our anxiously waiting family and friends. Thank you so much for the prayers and positive thoughts!! We could not only feel them, but we could see them at work!!

Lots of love...back at ya!!
