Is it just me, or does the "need" to blog seem to come in waves? I can go for weeks without updating this blog once, or updating it with just a sentence or two in an effort to fend off the guilt of not keeping people up to date on what's going on with our Kenzi. She is the core reason why this blog exists, so when I don't post, I feel like I'm letting people down!


So, let me get everyone caught up a bit, and I promise to post pics soon! Jack has misplaced the connector I need to upload pics...so I'll be searching for that this weekend. :)


Ok, so here is an update! We are inching ever closer to meeting our princess. It's been tough watching our first travel date get pushed back again and again, but it's all in God's time, so we aren't stressing. Everything has gone off without *much* of a hitch so far, even though there have definitely been road blocks, or attempts to create road blocks. In the end though, what's meant to be will always find a way, regardless of what people attempt. :)


I'm so amazed that I've been able to pull this off so far. I'm not the most organized person, so for me of all people to schedule homestudy visits, run around gathering paperwork, getting things notarized, certified, apostilled...downloading forms, mailing, faxing, fedexing...and somehow keeping track of all of this stuff...that alone is a miracle. I'm nervous about getting the court dossier together, but I know I can do it! :)


We're starting to get the house ready for Ms. Sassy Pants (her nickname...based off the limited info we have about her spunky personality!). The boys are going to share a room, and we felt it would be nice to do a make over for them, so their room is being painted a very soothing sky blue. They love it, and so do I....which rocks because Dylan and I often disagree on...everything. :) Once their room is painted, it will be decorated with a space theme. Moons, stars, planets...maybe a UFO...it's going to be fun! 


Kenzi's room is going to double as a play area for the littles, so aside from her bed and changing table, we'll just have toys in there. Her room is mint green on top, pale pink on the bottom, and David is going to install a chair rail. We already have her changing table, and we haven't settled on a crib yet...I keep changing my mind. :)BUT...we do have a theme!!! OWLS!!! I love owls, actually...I'm a bit obsessed. So, we have her bedding, valances, wall decor, and a rug...so we're getting there! It feels so strange having all this stuff back in the house, and to have girl stuff feels REALLY weird. Her closet is stocked. It's downright disgusting how many clothes she has, and shoes, and toys, and leggings, blankies, lovies, books...it's crazy but she deserves to be spoiled absolutely rotten. :)


I think that's about it! I can't wait to post pics of her new outfits, her room when it's finished, etc...I'm so grateful to everyone who has donated to our fund, bought crafts, prayed for us, asked us how things are going, it's really heartwarming so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!!


Much love <3 ~Cilla
