HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JACE!!!!!!!!!

Today is my youngest baby boy's birthday. Today, Jace turns three! Today, he waits in China for his family to take him home. Today, my heart aches to hold him, to kiss his cheek and tell him that 'today is the day we celebrate your very being'! Today is the day I wish I was baking his birthday cake and helping him blow out the candles...

Still no word on USCIS. I am hoping to get that next week at the latest! I have been praying over that approval everyday! I know that God's timing is perfect, but it is definitely not easy...smile. I am also a little concerned about getting a travel date from China because the Chinese New Year begins in February for two weeks. If their new year is anything like our 'deer season' I am in trouble (haha). There are also a few weeks throughout the next coming months that CWA recommends not traveling for whatever reason I am not sure. I just hope that doesn't delay us longer. Once again, God knows that but it is still bothering me.

I wonder how he spent his day. It is bedtime for him as I am only beginning this blog entry. I wonder if his caregivers recognized his special day. I like to think so. I try to imagine his little face lighting up as he sees his birthday cake and watches in silence as others celebrate with him. I wonder if he even knows what a birthday is? But he will very soon! Very soon he will be wondering lots of things! I can't wait to see through his eyes what he wonders. What he discovers. What he likes and doesn't like. Soon, very soon, he will be home!!

Today I blow you a kiss, Birthday Boy. Today I thank God for saving you for me...
