China has now placed referrals for log in dates through April 11th, 2006 and have reviewed through April 30th, 2008. At least we are out of MARCH!! They did 7 days of referrals which is really good and my prayer is that it continues at a good pace. I really,really want to bring home our little girl.
We will just keep praying:)

Happy Thanksgiving!
I am so thankful for my family and the many blessings God has given me. It has been a great year so far. I am a bit sad all at the same time because we are missing our little Chinese princess Madie. I can't wait until she is home spending the holidays with her family. I am still waiting for something big to happen with the CCAA. I don't know when she will be born and when she will be home, but it will be the perfect time, I am sure of it!
I decorated the house yesterday and today, not quite as many decorations. I am going out of town for a couple of weeks, so I scaled back a bit. I cannot wait to shop on Friday, but I will not shop as long since I have to leave. The rest of this year is going to fly by!
CCAA Update- Dossiers reviewed through February 29,2008.

Update
Well they have sent referrals out for this month. They have now sent referrals out through March 28, 2006. I really was hoping they would be out of March 06! They have reviewed dossiers through December 31st, 2007.
I was reading a blog today and it was really eye opening. This couple have waited 4 years for their little girl and was talking about how through these 4 years they have grown and how much their marriage had grown. How God takes these times of wait to mold us into who he wants us to be. I really thought about in just the last year how much things have changed in my life. The things that I want in my life now are so much different from the things I desired a year ago. I hope that during our wait I can just continue to be quiet and listen. I pray that our family grows and can step out and do bold things for Christ. While I wait I will just continue to serve, love and seek his will.

I love you Madie! Praying you will be home soon:)

Review Room Update
Well they have now reviewed dossiers through Oct. 31st, 2007! That is two more months, moving right along. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come. I am still praying for that miracle!
For those of you who are not familiar, once your dossier gets to the review room, they go through your file and make sure everything is ok and that they do not have questions. If they don't, you are then moved to the matching room, where they match you with your child. Getting through the review room is a big step. Maybe we will be through the review room by the end of Spring 2010. Hopeful!

Update....It's been a while!
I decided not to blog as much, but I do want to keep it updated so that I can give all of this to Madie one day. They have matched referrals through March 24th, 2006. March 06 was a very large month for LID's. After this month the numbers really start to go down. They have reviewed through August 31, 2007. I think over the next few months and definitely after the first of the year we will know if it is going to speed up any.
I can only keep praying that God will allow us to bring her home soon. I do trust God and know he will take care of her until we get there. Even though I do have faith everything is in perfect time, I still have a void in my life that only she will fill and it breaks my heart everyday. But I have two wonderful boys I am focusing on right now and enjoying these last few years before they are grown up!
I went to the Jonas Brothers concert last night with my niece and we had such a great time. They really did put on a great show. I have never seen so many excited little girls in my life. I am glad that I got to spend that time with her. I thank God for all my nieces and nephews. I love all of them and have so much fun spending time with them. I have especially enjoyed playing with my new great niece Raelynn who is 6 mos old my newphew Carter who is 2 mos old. It is great having babies around, they bring such happiness to the family!
Corey is a sophmore this year and baseball will start up soon. He is growing up more and more everyday. He has a truck now and he cannot wait to start driving to school in December. It is bittersweet. Sometimes I think about how easy it will be to not have to pick him up from school and run him to practices, but on the other hand I will worry all the time! I will just put him in God's hands and let him take care of him always.
Justin is in the 8th grade. Just one more year of middle school. He is ready to go to the high school he says. He is ready for a change. He still has not found what he loves yet. I know that one day he will do something he loves! He has really changed over the last few months. He will be 14 in September and is getting so tall. I can't believe that he is my baby and is as tall as me!
I hope to get involved with many different projects at church also. I love to serve God and our church gives us so many opportunities to reachout to others and encourages you to. This Saturday I am doing a project making dresses for little girls in Brazil. I don't know how to sew, but I think it will be a lot of fun. Who knows what all I will get into over the next year. I pray that God continues to show me where he wants me and open doors where I can serve him best.
Madie,
I hope that we can come and get you soon! One day when you look back on my words and thoughts, I hope that you can see you have been loved and thought of everyday way before you were even born. You are so special to me already and I can't wait to meet you for the first time. I think about all the things I can't wait to do, like watch you play outside, see you sleep in your bed, play dress up, carry your baby dolls around(you may like cars better, who knows), watch your daddy and brothers take care of you and make you tuff (and yes they will probably even teach you how to fight so you can beat up the boys)! I love you my sweet girl, one day we will be together!

GREAT WEEK!
Well I got back from Camp Whatever Friday and what a wonderful week it was! There were over 500 of us including students/staff/counselors. It was very tiring, but totally awesome to see God do his work. I believe 23 students accepted Christ as their Saviour! Sixteen students said they felt led to go into the ministry. That is wonderful and why we have camp! I know that God will take those students and impact hundreds of people. I had seven 6th grade girls and they were absolute angels! I absolutely love them. I also made many new wonderful friends myself. Praise God for an awesome experience.
The CCAA has sent referrals for dossiers received through March 20, 2006, which means they did 7 more days this month!!! They have reviewed all dossiers received through August 31st, 2007. This is all wondeful progress. I am going to continue to pray for a miracle and that we don't have to wait long! Please pray with me!
Love,
Tammy

Busy, Busy!
We have been so busy this month! Corey is doing summer ball and the games are soooo long and we do not get home til really late. I wouldn't trade it for anything though! I absolutely love watching baseball (especially Corey)! I am going on a work trip to Atlanta for two weeks and then leaving for our church's youth camp. Check out our website! www.lifepointchurch.org. I love my church! Even though neither of my boys are going to camp this year, I am so excited. I cannot wait to see God working in the lives of 450 young people. I just pray that God moves them to big decisions in their life, whatever they may be. So anyway, 3 weeks away from my boys, I am going to miss them like crazy (after the first day or so).
Tomorrow is mine and Tommy's 16th wedding anniversary. I am so lucky to be married to my very best friend. He is so good to me and I love him more and more everyday. I was thinking today about how thankful I am God chose him for me and how perfect we are together. I cannot imagine my life without him. I know that I absolutely drive him crazy sometimes with all my wild ideas, but he is very supportive of me and I love him for that. We have been blessed beyond belief over these years and I cannot wait to see what the rest of our lifetime holds!
Goodnight!
