I am so excited to be sharing some FABULOUS adoption news this month! I know I told y’all that we wouldn’t receive ANY updates from the Philippines…but apparently I lied.
Not really.
I was just as shocked as you when we got the latest update.
Don’t think you can get off easy…I’m making you watch the vlog. π
Video Comments:
- Can y’all believe that we will know who our child is before the end of this year????? AHHHHHH <<me screaming in excitement>>
- The Pleated Poppy is one of my VERY favorite etsy shops. Stop by and tell Lindsey I sent ya! The adorable clutch that I have can be found <<HERE>>. But trust me when I say this…I have a gazillion other things from her shop including this AND this. See, obsession. Told you.
- Is SJ really turning TWO? I just can’t fathom it. Can.Not. The only thing that makes me excited about him getting a little older would be that I’m getting closer to no more diapers. Luckily I have someone who we like to call the “poop spotter”. Now if I could only teach him to change the diaper too.

So happy to hear about your adoption. God is Great! We are actually going to Vegas this weekend also. I am going for the same reasons. Spa, pool, food! Have fun!

Thank you!! Neat…maybe we will cross paths this weekend?? π
Shannon Dew says
I’m so excited for you guys! I cannot believe your child will be here, I mean, soon! The end of the year will be here before you know it! EEEPPP!!!!!
Mandy says
Maybe we will get our babies around the same time! π Well, probably not…your little guy will come first and I will just drool over his cuteness until our child arrives!
Jen says
Ahh!! So excited for you! You will be a family of 6 soon! Aww SJ. My baby will be 3 soon. They grow up way to fast.
Mandy says
I don’t want our babies to get big…ever! LOL! It’s like once they hit 3…they become big boys. DARN it!
Kala says
Congrats on the adoption news! How exciting! I’m so jealous of your Vegas trip! I need sun! It’s been nice here in MO the last couple of days, but I think it’s supposed to rain/snow today – ugh! Have a great trip! π
Mandy says
Thank you Kala!! I’m pretty excited about my trip, but nervous to travel alone. I’m such a dork! Snow in MO, really? UGH! Sending warm vibes your way!

Hey, Mandy! Congratulations to you guys! I would LOVE to adopt, but it’s not in the cards for my family. I think adoption is absolutely amazing, and am super excited for your family. You’ll be in my prayers, for sure!
