Tonight we had a big Arnold family celebration. We sent our last piece of paperwork off to our agency today. This has been a LONG process! We know that our process from start to finish will be very minimal compared to most, but we still long for our Libi Faith to be home with her crazy family. As I sat around the table with my goofy, silly, giggling boys (including the daddy) I couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for sweet Libi Faith…She has no idea what is in store!
We pulled out the best chopsticks and ordered up some Chinese food. We had a heart cookie cake in honor of her, OUR HEART. How we wished we could have let her have some frosting with us. We shared what we were most looking forward to about her being home…keep in mind the boys are not real “mushy gushy”…
Jack expressed his desire that Libi Faith would want him to hold her more than Ari did.
Joel wants to hold her and kiss her. He especially wants to kiss her cute little nose.
Jacob is looking forward to babysitting money and having a little sister again.
Daddy can’t wait to have one of his baby girls in the house again!
Mommy aches to have Libi Faith in her arms.
Each of us made our predictions of when we thought God would bring her home. We shared some time praying over her health and that God would give Libi Faith favor as each piece of her paperwork is processed. It was a good time before the Great Throne of God’s Grace with all of my men. What a privilege to be before that Great Throne knowing He is linking us together as a forever family!!

JACK...giving chopsticks a try...
Definitely can find some use for the spoon!
We long for you to be home with us, sweet baby!
Ephesians 3
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

What a neat party! Such a great way to help excite your boys for their sister and "where two or three are gathered together to pray in My Name, I will be with them!" (paraphrase :-)) We will pray for your Libi Faith too! She is one loved little girl.
Praise God!!! Another step in the right direction. What neat memories for your family. We're praying for our miraculous God to "hand-deliver" that paperwork and help it pass every inspection that sweet Libi Faith might come home even sooner!

We traveled in Nov. '06. Isn't God amazing to bring us all full circle like this. I would love to re-connect with you!
Blessings to you and your beautiful family as you wait for your precious Libi Faith.
