I've been really bad about uploading my pictures but wanted to share some of them with everyone.
My very artistic son, Austin made this for Shad and I for Easter. I couldn't stop crying when he gave it to us. He asked if he could take custom orders to help raise money for the adoption. Bless his little heart!!
Pala's little Easter basket.
My sister-in-law and I had lunch a bit ago and she surprised me with a little outfit and Pala's first Easter Bunny. Jacque has been a huge help to me through this long process. She's even been gracious enough to pass on her girls' outgrown clothes and stroller. She is working on her 3rd adoption (Guatemala, Ethiopia, and now India) and we are both currently waiting on NOC.
This little doll is my new niece Elly that was born in March. She was celebrating her first Easter with her Gram Kay. I host Easter for my side of the family.
Thanks Aunt Peggy for the box of goodies for Pala.
Shad's Aunt Peggy sent us a box of goodies from Arizona.
It appears to be that all we are missing now... is Pala!!
I should probably get started on her room!!
Quick update on our Sweet PEA...
She is currently 13 lbs and 25" tall.
She gets on her hands and knees and tries to crawl.
She's doing great developmentally.
Thank you Lord for watching over her and keeping her safe.
It has been well over 100 degrees and extremely humid in Kolkata. Those dear Ayah's and babies must be miserable. Dillon was finally able to purchase some air conditioners for the orphanage. The middle of May will bring a new judge to the Kolkata courts which could mean delays as he familiarizes himself with the international adoption process. Please pray that he's a quick learner!! :)

I thought of you and the other families when we got that news about the judge! I hope he's quick to pass cases on and doesn't require addtn'l paperwork! And definitely get started on that room- I don't recommend following our example (we are just now buying the paint and feeling the stress!!) Sounds like she's doing great- I can't wait to meet her!
I just love all your fun girlie things for Pala! So glad she is healthy and growing. Hope NOC comes soon!
I love all of the Pala goodies! What a talent your son is - such a beautiful gift :)
I am praying this new judge will be excellent and very speedy :)
Love the treats for your sweet PEA. Love the artwork,what a great job your son did on that. My son Bailey loves to draw. A new judge coming in,well I hope he is super quick for you all. So glad that ISRC has air!!:) Maybe u will get NOC for Mothers day weekend. I am sure we won't here anything soon,so for now I just go on with life and what will be,will be.:) By the way,God reminded me last night that he prepared me for what happened a while back,I will talk to you later. Now I wonder if my second dream will come to pass.?
Your son is very very talented and his sketch was beautiful!
Austin did a fantastic job on your Easter gift. He is very talented! I would have been crying my eyes out, too :-) What a special gift to receive on Easter.
April :-)
