Five Months and Hoping

Today marks five months since we accepted our kids referrals.
As I try to write this post, I just don't know what to say.
Some days I have a hard time being very happy about the situation.
Our prayer lately has been,"Lord we don't know why you are not bringing them home yet but we will make a daily choice to trust you."
Every night we go to sleep aching for our little ones and every morning we wake up and choose to trust God's timing.
 
I am starting to want to get their rooms ready.
I am thinking about the adoption shower.
I want to start preparing for their arrival.
What if they don't come home for a year or even longer?
I don't want to prepare for them too soon and have the constant reminder of empty bedrooms and clothes not yet worn.
 
To top it off, in there last update pictures they both looked very unhappy.
Boaz looked sick.  He had a snotty nose, goopy eyes, and was sweaty like he had a fever.  His mouth was hanging open as though he could not breath through his nose.  Isryelle looks a little under the weather too.  Our normally happy girl did not crack one smile in this months updates.  We are still praying that they come home soon.
Boaz has some hair!  I am sure by the next update they will have shaved his hair again.  I just love this...I can't wait to grow it out!

Even when she is not very happy, she still shows her attitude.  She crossed her arms and gave the camera a very serious face.
