Seriously–to have Christina’s hair in Ethiopia would be a […]  I really am going to start packing soon…just 8 more days until we leave! But…for now–life continues day by day.

What FUN you (and great photos) have on a typical summer day. I’ll be thinking about ya tomorrow during GNO; enjoy your special girl time. Wow girl, you are staying busy! Before you know it, it’ll be time to step on that plane for ETHIOPIA!!! the tubs & squirt guns are such a great idea! we’re dying here in FL= SAUNA!!!! oh i just love your pics, you amaze me with the quality of them! I love water fights! :0) I love blackberries too, I wish I could have reached through the screen and grabbed one! :0) I am SO glad you mentioned that fly thing b/c we have pesky ones from time to time here too! :0) I think its awesome that you got to know Eddie…how amazing to know he is a brother in Christ too and how exciting that he is getting married! :0) have a great day! You guys have been busy! I had to laugh about your conversation with Eddie- you are such a southerner. Did you “bless his heart” at any point? I love it. I am a wannabe southerner stuck in Arizona. Sigh. Wow! What a fun-filled blog post! Thanks for sharing another glimpse at a day in the life of a Young! Makes me wish I lived closer so I could join in on the fun! 😉 Thanks for the laughs!

Her journey has inspired us too! LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing Kristi, YOU, and Cris in one photo! Melt. My favorite blogs and friends in one room. =) Sounds like a perfect celebration for Lucy!! How fun! God also used Lucy Lane to inspire us to adopt from Ethiopia! And I also emailed Kristi with adoption questions…back in March. She was so encouraging! So glad ya’ll got to celebrate together!! oh, too fun…you have the best pics..I love “the hug” pic…adorable…SOOO glad yall came…and we’ll see ya on the 2nd, yayyyyyyy, kj How fun! LL is like the spokesbaby for AGCI – her sweet picture is on the packet they sent us. Thanks for sharing! I cannot wait for a GA group to get started up!!!! What a fun weekend! 🙂 I am glad that you were able to celebrate with the Johnson’s! I love my AGCI family! 🙂 My husband also chases after the kids whenever we get together with other families. He knows I need that time. Have a great day! Okay … truth be told … I am totally jealous! :o) Wow, what a great weekend! How fun! Lucy Lane’s video got me sooo excited for our adoption process. How special to be able to go and celebrate with them and be encouraged as you are about to go and pick up Isaac in just a few short weeks! Can’t wait! Love that you hauled your family here for our gathering. You know we are here to support you too. Blessings my dear friend. I am praying for you and your journey to your sweet baby boy. And a HUGE thanks for snapping a family pic of us. Yes we were sweaty but we all had fun. It’s going in our next pp report. Cris Andrea! This adoption journey just keeps getting better and better! The Johnson Family and their Lucy Lane video are what have inpired us to pursue adoption! Did not even know that y’all are friends, I just got and email from her this morning and I chatted with you on the phone a couple of weeks ago! God is amazing how he brings people together that would have never had the chance to get to know each other! We are going to Nashville next month and Kristi and I are going to meet for lunch! I am SO excited! AND… several of the moms in the pics are Moms who I keep up with their blogs everyday, funny how all of y’all know each other and are connected. I hope and pray that our family will be at one of these reunions soon! Continue to keep our family in your prayers, alot of change around here. Our house may be sold today and we don’t know where God is going to take us but we are trusting!!! Love, Bobi Bobbitt  Waiting, waiting, waiting and hoping, hoping, hoping for travel dates asap! SOOOO ready to bring our boy home! In the mean time…this momma is stirring up the crazy with the crafty:). I declared the day “stencil day” and we had such fun putting Africa on…literally…ANYTHING and EVERYTHING we could imagine possible. To make your own […] I love your Africas everywhere! oh i love this! i may have to do some of this myself 🙂 i love the way you turn your waiting into things to do with your kiddos! and I love all the Africas!! My buddy Kim, the one who lives down by you, does the same thing for me – except instead of using paint on the shirts – she uses a clorox bleach pen!!! I love my africa shirts that she does (we all have a bunch!). This post makes me smile! I pray you get your travel dates SOON!!! You are very crafty and I love everything you did. you’ve gotta love the africa stencils! 😀 Hey Andrea! I love keeping up with your blog everyday! It has become my “treat” to myself at night while everyone is sleeping and the house is quiet, to sit up and read your blog entries! I am so thankful we had the opportunity to chat last week, I look forward to talking to you again soon! Please continue to pray for us as we are considering embarking on this amazing journey as well! bobi everything is better with a little africa on it! love the stenciling. i really, really, really want to try it but i don’t do well with things that take precision. or patience. maybe it would be a fun summer activity…as long as lulu is nowhere near the exacto knife! hoping you hear word of your travel dates SOON! Where do you get stencil paper? B/c I LOVE this idea! MUST. SEE. AFRICA. EVERYWHERE! =) You are indeed OOC … in such a beautiful way! .. I had lunch with a lady from All God’s Children on Tuesday. I was sharing with her your story & she said, “Wow, that sounds exactly like a client of mine. She doesn’t live in OH, by chance, does she?”.. 🙂 I said no, but.. just wanted you to know that there’s another family out there (Africa bound…) that has shared a similar story around the same timeline… amazing. Praying for a travel date SOON, my friend. 🙂 LOVE the stenciled goods… 🙂 Surprised the fish tank didn’t get stenciled…lol! FUN! I know what ya mean about being STINK’IN READY!!! Got an updated Abby passport photo today….the cuteness is killing me:) No passport though! SOON FOR BOTH OF US!!!! Nice. 🙂 Very good job.  I love traditions…and I especially love traditions that teach our children what the days we celebrate and remember are all about. A few years ago, I told Rich that I wanted to spend days celebrating their true meaning—and Memorial Day is no different. SO…instead of grilling out…instead of going to the lake…we go hear from […] AMEN!! Love your family pic thinking- soon another will be coming home!!! amen!! 😀 Keep training those kiddos of yours in His ways, Andrea! You’re doing a great job :)) AMen. Just like I wrote on FB…it is not about grilling,it is not about the day off,or lake…it is to REMEMBER our soldiers who gave their life for our FREEDOM and the ones that are still out their to allow us our Freedom of today. My dad-Marine,2 brothers-Marine…1 is at Walter Reed helping wounded soldiers get up and learn to swim ,jog and live ! You are so great to share your passions of life with others…So much the way we have raised our kids. One is at Emory Med school 1st year and one has completed 10th grade at St Pius. Shockley got the Pope John Paul Award at the school…what an honor…using the gifts God has given is honoring God ! |

I can not wait for you, NEXT weekend!!! Andrea ~ NEXT WEEK END!!!!
Aw, how fun. I’m impressed with the bedding! I need to learn how to make that.
SO much fun!!! Praying for those 6 days to be fun, and can’t wait to see you with Isaac!!
Andrea–I found your blog through Addie. Small world…her cousins in Oklahoma are my cousins. At a family gathering last Christmas she gave me your website because I was starting up a photography business. I never got around to visiting your site, until recently. Your blog has been a blessing to me. My husband and I are in the process of adopting siblings from Uganda. I look forward to following your journey to Africa and bring home Isaac!

What a fun, girl-filled day! Can’t wait to see the post of Isaac in your arms!!! Countin’ down with you girlfriend! 😉
girl, you got some talent going on over there with crib bedding making! Are you on Etsy? B/c we ordered ours on etsy from a lady who makes them, that could possibly help raise any more adoption money you might need now or in the future! :0)
