Happy Birthday Judah

To our sweet RJ:

Wow buddy, today was harder than I thought it was going to be.  I woke up thinking about you and spent the whole day looking at the clock and savoring every minute in which it was April 26 both where I am and where you are.  It makes me so sad to think about all the birthdays you have spent without a mommy or daddy.  I honestly don’t even know if they celebrate birthdays in the orphanage where you are.  Here’s one thing I can tell you though, next year is going to be AWESOME!  We’re going to have so much fun and you are going to be so spoiled you won’t even know what to do!  I hope you begin to understand soon how much we love you and how so many people are praying and contributing to your safe arrival home with us.  I’m excited to get started on your family album and to be able to send you a video of your brother and sisters and to be able to show you your very own bed.  Please just know precious boy that somehow this mommy and her amazing God are going to get you home just as soon as we can!

We love you!

Mommy
