Thankful List for September 2017

Thankful List for September:
-a big month for positive adoption news after months and months of hiccups and delays
-Pre-approval from China received
-documents back from Houston in a week and a half... this was such an answer to prayer after an expired document and after Hurricane Harvey hit Houston we were told to expect this to take some considerable time.
-our dossier (6 months of paperwork gathering, notarizing, certifying and authenticating with multiple hiccups) finally finished and in the mail to our agency and a trip to Six Flags to celebrate
-video of our boy running around his orphanage and singing... this boy has a BIG personality

And a few random things that have nothing to do with adoption:
​-celebrating Jubilee, an awesome Ninja Warrior birthday party, and kids getting out of their comfort zone
-the Gills always opening their home for Tuck to watch Auburn games (and for Libby to play Barbies)
-the constant rock trading between neighborhood kids
-Urban Air with the Sharp boys

​-finally getting around to painting a dresser and a desk (and unfortunately a patio... but super thankful for goof off!)

-Libby submitting art work to an exhibit and winning Best Still Life for youth... her excitement over the entire thing was so much fun to experience

-a brother fixing his sister's hair
-Lego building

-Tuck's 10th birthday- a special trip to watch the Astros versus Rangers and a ball thrown straight to him by Elvis Andrus, a Harry Potter party, and lots of celebrating because you only turn a decade once.
​-Bible Drill

-pizza making
-Library fun
-MSU tailgates
