I am beyond excited this morning. Anneli who is an intern at New Day sent us this video she took of Drew on his birthday. This is priceless! We are SO blessed.
Hi Mandi, thank you for stopping by our blog! I'm looking forward to "getting to know you" through this bloggy world. You have a beautiful family, and wow, what a ride it is to your sons!! Many blessings, Barb
What a priceless gift these videos are!!! I can only imagine how delighted you were to receive them! Drew is ever cuter "in action" than he is in pictures...as if that's possible, right?! I know you can't wait to wrap your arms around him!
OMGosh....that put tears in my eyes and he's not even mine! I just kept thinking how it felt for you to watch those precious videos. Awesome! So cute....
Hi there, Wow...how special that is to have those pictures and videos!! Your little man is sooo sweet! I am praying for your family as I follow your story. Alyson
Mandi, those videos are beyond precious! What a beautiful treasure as you wait. What a glorious thought that the next birthday Drew will celebrate at HOME! Love~
BTW, I completely enjoyed watching these... total entertainment!! I LOVE Drew's enthusiasm, he is SO much fun!! I also love how he scolded Annie for getting into his gifts... too funny! ;)
I can see a lot of fun b-day parties in your future!!
My name is Mandi and my husband Matt and I have been married 20 years. We are so fortunate to have been blessed with 3 biological children, Blake, Emma, and Gabe. Adoption has been something I wanted to do as long as I could remember. In 2008 we turned a dream into a reality when we brought home Mylee. What I thought was just going to be a once in a lifetime thing, has turned into so much more. I knew when I left China with Mylee I would return. In 2010 we welcomed Andrew and Jaxon and in 2012 we welcomed Kalia. We are currently on a race against the clock to add the newest member to our family. He will turn 14 on May 21, so we have less than 3 months to be in China. As with every adoption, we have let God take control and know that he is in control of this one as well.
A child sat on Jesus' lap in the splendor of heaven. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child." The child asked "When will it be time?"Jesus replied, "When lessons are learned,hardships endured, and loneliness lived,then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child." The child asked, "When will it be time?"Jesus replied, "When maturity is reached,self-worth affirmed and spirits strengthened, then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, "Their love is strong and their hearts are open.Yes, now it is time-Your parents are ready."~author unknown

Such a treasure! I'm sure that was quite the emotional moment looking at that beautiful little boy, who you will be holding soon. Congratulations.
Oh. My!! He is too precious!! I love, love, love how excited he was. He couldn't even sit still. Oh! So precious!!
So special!!! I love hearing Drew sing and his look of joy. His saying "no, no" to Annie at the end is also so cute. What a treat!
