God is great.


So... I'm a sensitive, weepy mess lately. I'm so very aware of how God is touching our lives. It's surreal. I can't talk about adoption, read about adoption, hear about adoption without crying. ha! sheesh.  Lord Help me!

We are weeks from becoming parents. My prayer is that God prepares the hearts of our girls for us...for life on Team Taylor!  It's going to be an incredible adventure and I cannot wait for it to begin.  The good, the bad, the ugly! We are ready!!

Of course, watching videos like this, doesn't help.

It's a really great gotcha day video! Watch it if you can! 

In other news.... Our girls officially have "God parents" 
Katie and Matt Wiatt will be awesome Godparents to our girls! We are so excited and know that they are perfect for the role. I know they'll be great and Emily and Olivia will love them as much as we do!


Katie and I go way back. She was a youth when I first started as Youth Director at UMC OF THE Palm Beaches. David ( her dad) was the pastor of the church. We became quick friends sisters and after she graduated she helped out with the youth group.  We've had so many awesome experiences over the years from crazy adventures... to getting to be a Bridesmaid in her wedding.  Matt is just as awesome as Katie... He had to be special to capture her heart.  It's been so cool to get to have an inside track in their relationship since the very beginning.  I can remember the night Matt asked David for permission to marry Katie.  Katie and I were on the phone with her dad in the other room... ahh... fun times.  Katie and I have often been accused of being sisters (along with Molly) something i'm always honored to be accused of :-).  Our relationship has been an important part of my life from day one! 

We are truly truly honored to have Matt and Katie have such and important role in the lives of our children.  Thank you Katie and Matt.. from the bottom of our hearts!!

In adoption news... our i800 was sent today.  This is an application for permission from the US government to adopt a specific child/children.  This should be granted in a couple of weeks.  Fingers Crossed.  I fully intend to pester/annoy every person that I can between here and China until I get my hands on my sweet girls.  The faster... the better!

This is the most awesome thing i've EVER been a part of... and i've been a part of some pretty awesome stuff! ;-) 

With joy and excitement!
Jenn & Rob
