Yellow Fever...

Just a lil bit of an update:

Linz, Nate and I journeyed to Naperville, IL last week in order to be finger printed by the FBI/Dept. of Homeland Security! The journey was a success and included Nate's first time in a hot tub, a feast of Chicago style pizza, a huge suite (thanks to Tara Baumgardner!) to stay in, a Geordono's lunch buffet, getting kicked out of Costco, and a can of potted chicken killed in accordance with Islamic Law!

Passport apps have been filled out...4-6 weeks from now we should have them in our hands!

This Friday we'll travel to the distant land of Peoria for Yellow Fever shots and typhoid pills! If this trip also includes cheese curds, I'll consider myself truly blessed, haha.

Please continue to keep Nathen in your prayers as his little journey continues to have many twists and turns. Pray for our sanity too as we prepare ourselves for the arrival of Nate's little brother (praise God Nate is sleeping all through the night once again!).

and as always thanks for all your love, prayers, support, and for taking the time to read our blog.

Blessings,
Jordan & Lindsey

I cried when I saw this on a friends blog!  How amazing.  Our adoption specialist says we are "paper pregnant".  We are "expecting" just like anyone else only we are chosing to build our family in a different way.  I'm so lucky to get to share our experience with so many family and friends.  I am blessed today to have so many Galesburg adoptive families to brighten our days while we wait together!  Thanks Nick and Tracy, the Baxters, the Mowens, the Maleks, and many more!

Had to Share This...

Saw this short video about an foster/adoptive family. Made me cry (as many things do these days) so I figured I better share it.
